For those of you who have converted a 5 or 10 gallon cooler using this thread (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/cheap-easy-10-gallon-rubbermaid-mlt-conversion-23008/) I have a question for you:
Should the brass nipple fit snug into the pre-drilled hole of the cooler? I purchased the exact same parts as are listed, but something isn't right. Everything is quite loose and there's nothing really holding the whole bulkhead in place. I suspect that becuase the brass nipple doesn't even come close to fitting snugly, that this may be the cause.
Also, does anyone have any suggestion for connecting a copper manifold to this set up? I will restort to using a SS braid if I have to, but would really like to use a manifold.
Thanks,
