I'm building a new mash tun out of a 52qt Coleman XTreme cooler. I'm using a stainless braid.
The braid I have is longer than the length of the cooler. Should I cut it shorter or is it ok to have it make a gentle curve around the end of the cooler?
I'll be batch sparging with this. Any tips on keeping the braid from floating up while stirring? I'm adding a brass compression fitting -> 1/2" MPT adapter on the non-valve end with a 1/2 FTP cap. Will that be enough weight? Any better way to hold the braid down?
Thanks
