Hello everyone,
I'm about to make a mash tun out of a large cooler I have, and I would love to hear about your experience and thoughts of how I should go about making a filter to keep all the grain and sediment out when extracting the wort.
These are the current methods I've heard of:
Thanks again for your experienced advice and anecdotes.

These are the current methods I've heard of:
- make a large ring with slits cut in the pipe that connects to the drain valve
- attach a mesh hose to the drain valve
- create a false bottom (I've heard these are somewhat pointless if you don't get a good seal between the false bottom and the cooler wall)
- buy some kind of bag that lines the entire cooler
Thanks again for your experienced advice and anecdotes.
