Hi all,
I saw some previous discussion of Rubbermaid coolers warping when very hot water is put in them here: http://homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=8846&highlight=rubbermaid+warp
But had a few follow-up questions.
1) Do those of you who use them as a mash tun pre-heat them with boiling water? This is what I did on my first use and it's what caused a bit of warping for me. I was able to do this on my old rectangular cooler with no problem.
2) Does the warping go away?
3) Does the warping cause any serious problems, or does it just not look pretty?
Thanks!
