I got a 5 gal Rubbermaid cooler. I've been browsing the hardware stores to decide what kinds of pipes / fittings to use. Questions?
1) Is there any problems with drilling a bigger hole in the tap for the cooler? Has anyone run into problems. Cracking, etc.
2) Pipes for the straining mechanism. Copper, galvanized, PVC, CPVC, brass. Does it matter? I was thinking of CPVC and cutting slits in it. Anything I shouldn't use?
3) What style is the easiest and cheapest to build: false bottom, stainless steel supply line, or pipe with slits cut into it?
4) Any other suggestion?
