hello,
I am trying to convert a round igloo cooler to use as my mash tun . So far I have installed the ball valve into the existing outlet on the cooler, my question is, how high above the outlet should I install my thermometer. I have seen them w/ the therm directly above the b/v , but for 5 gal.recipes what would the optimum height be?( hope to do 10 gal. in the future) Also I am using a steamer insert from a s/s 6 gal pot , w/ s/s screen on top of the insert. Is a 30/30 mesh to fine? I really like all of the imput we get from this forum, keep up the good work, and thanks.
