not beer, but beer tools!
about to make myself a mash tub, needed to fabricate a "drain" had some copper pipe laying around so I used that, and I had an unused brass hose barb that magically fit the copper pipe tight enough to grab a few threads and get a snug fit.
I used my vise to crimp the open end shut, and drilled about 2 hundred little holes in it. I started in the middle and drilled a LOT of holes...then got tired of drilling and thought maybe I was over-doing it. if it takes too long to drain, then I can always go back and drill more holes into it.
now I just need to go get some nylon or rubber hose from the kitchen department at the hardware store along with some silicone caulk, drill a hole in the side of the cooler, and I'll be ready for my next all grain batch!
