Is this a totally redundant question covered in other threads? If so I'm totally sorry.

I totally spaced on that barb adapter, that'll do just fine. Still curious though, anyone know if the standard rubbermade cooler spouts without any modifications can stand the heat of boiling sparge water? Or is that ball valve upgrade necessary for an HLT too?

I just purchased a second Rubbermaid 10 gallon cooler to convert to my HLT but couldn't find any locking washers to fit inside the cooler... Home depot people looked at me like I was crazy. I haven't been able to find these anywhere and it's driving me crazy! Is it possible to use the default...

An *inaccurate reading

I have a question about what thermometer to buy? I've been using my roommates 12 inch or so food thermometer that clips on the side which reads up to 220 degrees Fahrenheit and has been working pretty well but I've seen a couple digital thermometers with probes that can rest inside the wort and...
