Hello All-
I just bought a 50 qt igloo cooler and have been contructing my first MLT. I am all done and it looks pretty good however, when I fill it up with water to test the valve sits about and inch and a half above the bottom of the cooler. So in essence I would have about 1.5 inches of water left in the tun and the only way to get it out would be to tip it toward the valve opening and I think that may disturb the grain bed when I am actually mashing/sparging. Is this a common problem?? Should I get a different cooler?? Thanks for any input!!
