I was given Cooler Kit Deluxe from Northern Brewer by a friend that had an extra and assembled it into a 5 gallon Rubbermaid round cooler to use as an MLT. Aside from the POS leaking like a sieve when assembled "by the directions" I was able to get it put together without leaks by swapping things around a bit. At least I think it isn't leaking...yet.
Do any of you with similar cooler MLTs take everything apart after each batch to clean it or do you just leave it assembled and run some hot water through it to clean it up? I can't imagine trying to reassemble this bastard every time and crossing my fingers while I hope it doesn't start leaking in the middle of a mash.
