Hello,
I am looking into building a mash tun our of a cooler as is popular and see that the cost of the project mainly comes from expensive metal valves and fittings.
I am familiar with using all sorts of plastic material for plumbing my fish tanks and I simply don't see the reasoning for going with stainless steel and such over nylon and pvc fittings.
Plenty of people use pvc for their straining heads inside the tun, why not just use plastic materials all the way out to the hose barb and into your brew kettle?
Thanks
