Going to start building a 48qt mlt in a rectangle style cooler. Looks like must people use the standard 3/4 braided line which is around $4. But I found a 2" line for $9. The only down side to going this big is I will have to get a reducer adaptor for the 1" cooler outlet. Would there be any advantages going to a larger braided line, like more surface area for wort to drain, or would it not mater since the outlet is still 1".
 
Ya its 2" dia and maybe 18" long for $9. Its next to the water heaters at home depot. I'm probably just going to do the 3/4" line because I won't need to use any reducers for the cooler outlet, just thought the 2" could work better/faster
