New to posting

So I signed up back in May, never posted anything but Santa brought me a new computer! I've been homebrewing for many years, love sharing info about homebrewing and can bore folks to sleep if they ask me about brewing. I started posting answers to forum questions just the other day and realized that may have been rude, not having introduced myself! I'm an all grain brewer, love managing yeast, have a microscope, love making beer though I have a very basic all grain system.

First question: I'm looking to get an insulated stainless steel lauter tun (10 gallon). Currently I use a plastic 10 gallon Rubbermaid cooler with a John Guest fitting on both sides, inside I have a plastic domed false bottom. I've not found anything that I like for an insulated stainless lauter tun. I want easy to clean as far as fittings. I don't use pumps and don't expect that I will. I use silicone tubing. Any wisdom on what to get (or not get)?

Welcome!
Sorry, I can't answer either, I mash in a cooler with a voile bag.
I look forward to reading your posts.

I've just upgraded from a 10 gal Rubbermaid cooler w/ a copper manifold to a 15 gal Blichmann w/ their false bottom. I'm going to insulate the outside w/ Reflectix type insulation and I can direct fire on my single tier stand.
