Hello everyone
I just assembled a mash tun from parts lying around..I have a 10 gallon cooler,ball valve,2 SS barb adapters and i went and bought a SS water supply braid,anyway after i assembled it i filled it with water, i am got a small leak.Now instead of going and buying a cooler conversion kit or spending anymore money.I just cut a grolsch gasket to fit over the threads to make a better seal..It did the job .But i wonder if the rubber will leach bad things into the brew..what do you all think?..i believe the material of grolsch gaskets are pure gum rubber..cheers all
