So primarily I have done all extract or partial boil batches up until sept when my FIL and I did an all grain heady topper clone (using cloned Conan yeast). He is an experienced brewer and after the batch was done he left me with an igloo cooler he had fit with a valve that we used as our mash cooler. It worked well and he simply wanted a bigger cooler so he left me this one.
I was planning on using it this upcoming weekend to brew an ESB but today discovered he took the kettle screen out of the bottom. Generally I'd have no issue ordering one with my next set of ingredients but since I just ordered and given the holiday tomorrow I find myself in a bind. We have a local brew shop which I'm not sure will be open Friday or Saturday.
Anyone know of a way to make the mash cooler work efficiently (ie without clogging a ton) in a simple manner I could use for just one brew? I hate to out off brewing given the long weekend.
Any tricks are MUCH appreciated.
