Anyone have this? Mine is being delivered today but I wanted to run to the hardware store on my home from the office to buy anything I need to go with it (without seeing the tun first). What ID do I need on tubing to attach to the spigot?

for that price you could almost make a SS one from a concord pot wtf

Not something I enjoy building. If it takes more than 10 minutes, I'll pay that price.

Any constructive help with the tubing?

Can't help with the tubing since I don't know what you want to attach it to.

Here's a mash tun you can build in 10 minutes...www.dennybrew.com

OK, that mash tun is on its way...is probably sitting on my porch...I am not looking for alternatives. I'm asking if anyone with knowledge of that spigot knows the diameter of the spigot so that I can get tubing to empty the tun into the kettle.

From the single crappy pic on their site it looks like a 3/8" barb, but you won't know for sure until you unpack it.

I don't have that exact one, but I'm sure it's 3/8 ID tube.

Thank you guys. I will buy some 3/8". I can use that for other applications if it isn't right.

I understood that you bought one and don't need to build it. My only point was that it's fast, cheap and easy to build one.

And I agree with the other guys that it's likely 3/8" ID tubing.

This stuff look good for the application? It looks like it is food grade and rated up to 175 degrees.

For background as to why I want to buy this on the way home, before I see the tun, is that I will be alone at home with 2 young kids from 6:00pm tonight until Sunday night. I want to brew tomorrow and really do not want to drag these kids out to do brewing supply shopping tomorrow. I'll run the risk on buying the wrong size tube (that I can use for something else) to give myself a chance at avoiding that nightmare tomorrow.

Damn. Needs 1/2" ID.

Sorry... Mine wasn't $150, so guess I get 3/8 for that.

Haha... It's a $60 upgrade for 1/2". I have some 1/2" tube but it's old and moldy. Don't think I'll risk it (even pre-boil). Looks like a kid trip to the hardware store in the morning.
