I use a ten gallon rubbermaid water cooler with a false bottom as an MLT - It recently developed a bulge in the side that finally cracked. Its getting worse, and although im not worried about the quality of my mash, i seem to lose temperature more quickly than i used to.
Is this inevitable in the future? I was thinking of moving up to a square/rectangular cooler and also moving to ten gallon batches, but i dont want to invest in a large cooler and build a huge manifold if the cooler is just going to crack in a year.
Thoughts? Experiences?
