So I was just putting together a mash tun. I have a rectangular 48 qt igloo cooler. The drain hole is about 1 1/2" above the bottom of the cooler. Is that going to give me issues when draining? I've noticed in a lot of the picture of these the cooler has a recess where the drain is so the hole is at roughly the same elevation as the bottom of the cooler. Could I just prob up the other end of the cooler? Also, some suggest using a coiled wire inside of the SS braid to prevent it from crushing. Is that a big issue?
