Updated Mash Tun Parts List

[lmd]

I just bought a 10 gallon rubbermaid cooler form HD and am looking to buy the parts to convert to a mash tun. I am looking SS only. Does anyone know the exact parts I need to make the conversion. Which is the bext place to get the parts?

This should have everything you need and to customize it to fit your exact cooler. Good luck.

I currently have the setup for a 5 gallon mash tun. Can I take off the parts and use on the 10 gallon cooler. Will a false bottom for a 5 gallon be big enough for a 10 gallon cooler?

 

[rgauthier20420]

As long as the valve can fit you would be able to use it. I've never used a 5 gallon mash tun, but it's easy to just screw off the spigot from the 10 gallon and check them.

I used a 10" false bottom with no issues in my 10 gallon igloo, I think a 12" would be better. I do get some movement of the false bottom, but again I've never had a stuck sparge or any other issues with it.
