I put galvanized wire in mine after I wrapped it around a screwdriver to make it like a notebook spiral. Haven't used it yet but feels like it won't collapse.
I made this last weekend and pitched yeast sat evening. No fermenting. I used a little brown sugar and used American hefe yeast. Any thoughts on what to do next to get it to ferment?
I'm in the same boat as you trying to figure out which one is better. I'm leaning towards the home depot cooler. I will probably make one next month.

I have been only looking at YouTube videos and most have the braid. Was thinking of going cheap at first since I'm used to extract kits.

I've seen both the circular style cooler and the rectangle type as examples. Does either one work better than the other. Seems like the rectangle can have more line for filtering the wort by putting a tee fixture in it.

I've used both. I prefer stainless and just ordered one from Northern brewer. I love it. So easy to clean.
