Ok, so i recently built my mash tun however, i used a 5 gallon cooler that i was able to procure from work. I will be doing a 5gal batch (American Rye Ale).

Ok, so i know that there are tons of threads and pics of DIY mash tuns but i had to share with my fellow beer geeks. I am relativity new to brewing still, I have completed 5 home brews and currently fermenting my 6th. I will be trying my luck at all grain brewing in the near future. I am stoked...
