Hey there, I'm quite green to homebrewing but looking to change all that before I kick off this planet!
I'm going to be making a mash tun out of a cooler this weekend and I'm wondering, is a manifold really necessary at the bottom?
With these new coolers that have a recessed area at the drain plug to ensure maximum draining, can't I simply use a few layers of stainless steel screen secured over the brass piece on the inside of the cooler? Just seems much simpler and easier to clean.
Thoughts?
THANK YOU!
