Quick Question...
Brewing on the cheap, I bought the 5g Igloo cooler from Lowes for maintaining my mash temps with BIAB, insulating the pot wasn't working very well anymore. Did my first batch with it and other than not taking into account the fact I pre-heated it and ended up mashing high, everything went well.
Instead of doing the whole ball valve deal, why not just use a priming bucket plastic port? My cooler just has the outer shell and inner shell right next to each other on the outlet so I assumed this would work well. Thoughts?
Thanks
