So im trying to make a mash tun with a igloo family 52 qt cooler. And i just want to put some tubing through the draining part with out taking it apart but the tubing is to small. Would it be allright to use silicone caulk to hold the tubing in and keep it air tight or do yall think it might change the flavor of the wort or effect it in a negative way?

Silicone has some pretty nasty stuff in it. Not only might it shed off flavors (Probably to small to notice) but it could put some chemicals into your wort that are harmful to humans. Why not keep the original spout on there and find a hose big enough in diameter to attach to it.
