All grain cooler system plans

dwktr · Nov 9, 2009

I would like to make the move from extract to all grain and I have been considering one of the 2 igloo setups for my first system. Looking at the cost I can only imagine it would be considerably cheaper to build it myself but I can't seem to find any plans to help me determine what I need. Anyone have some good plans to get me started?

I built my own, and didn't end up saving quite as much as I expected - heck, I probably broke even considering the number of trips to home depot to get parts I missed, wrong size, etc. Granted, seemed simple enought that I didn't print out the directions or shopping list... Maybe THAT was my problem.

I did something very similar to this:

Mine was a Coleman Xtreme 70 quart and my manifold was copper like in the photos with four lengthwise tubes connected at the ends. It is a great setup that can do 5 or 10 gallon batches. Holds temp great and is super easy to clean.
