So I've been extract brewing and am making the switch to all grain.
I've search the forum briefly, and read a TON of pages on the homemade Mash Tun thread.
I acquired 2 1/4" high quality stainless steel ball valves from my work from an outdated system, they were given to me not stolen.
I ordered an Igloo cooler(the one for 42$ on Amazon and was wondering if they would be acceptable to use on my mash tun. From what I've been reading it seems folks like to keep the flow rate down anyway for better efficiency, so I was wondering if these would work for me? It would save me a bunch of money but if they won't work I'll just get the 3/8" like everyone else does.
Also I considered buying a 5' length of 3/8" copper tubing and bending it into kind of a coil, then drilling a ton of little holes, deburring it, closing the end and attaching it via a high temp hose to the barb inside the mash tun effectively making a weld free copper mash filter. Does this sound viable?
