I'm using both 5 gal and 10 gal Igloo coolers as my MLT for small and larger batches. I use a SS braid to "filter" the wort. The last time I used the 10 gal cooler I noticed the braid floating up into the grain instead of lying on the bottom when I stirred in the grain. On that batch I got a really crappy mash efficiency, but I blamed it on something else. Today the same thing happened with my 5 gal cooler. I'm mashing right now so I don't know what my eff. will be but I was wondering if this is going to be a problem and should I spend the $$ and get a (much stiffer) bazooka screen.
Oh, I'm batch sparging so channelling should not be a problem, right?
Any thoughts?
