Looks good!

Yea brewing has def sparked an interest in DIY, power tools, engineering, and great beer! :mug:
 
Nice! I haven't had a chance to use mine yet. Hopefully soon.
 
It's really easy to do, and costs less than a pre-made one.
 
Can we get a parts list? Did you make your own false bottom or did you buy a pre-made one and just put it all together yourself?
 
Sure, here's the parts I used. Start with a 10 gallon cylindrical cooler from Lowes, Home Depot, etc. Then I added:

False bottom with high flow elbow

Barb to 1/2 male npt bulkhead

3 piece ball valve 1/2 npt

From there you can add a barbed fitting and tubing, but I added a cam lock coupler to an elbow and then a barb to high temp silicone tubing.

And you'll need high temp tubing to connect the false bottom to the bulkhead
