I just finished reading Palmer's Appendix D about building a mash tun and manifold, and I want to start building my mash tun.
I mostly brew 2.5 gallon batches and I might one day do a 5 gallon batch, but I'm most comfortable with 2.5 gallons.
I returned a walmart 5 gallon drinking cooler because it dropped temperature to much in the hour. Does anyone know a better insulated 5 gallon drinking cooler?
Also, is there a way to build the manifold to reduce deadspace as much as possible? Is it a big deal? I have beersmith so I know I can account for the deadspace in the program, but would it be better to have less deadspace?
