Yea, I saw them on Amazon first. Then I noticed it was shipped through target...So I went to target.com and looked it up and the site said it was available at all the targets near me. I went to the closest one and they had 2 out on the shelves so I picked em up. I didn't see any more, but they may have more in the back.McKBrew said:Thanks Ben for posting this. I'll be checking out my local target ASAP, and see if they have them. (HLT Baby) If anyone else is interested, they are also available online from Target, or through Target via Amazon.com, in case you need some books too.
bigben said:I just got 2 50 QT Igloo Coolers from target. They are on sale for $19.99 each.
I see 10 gallon batches in my future!!!
bigben said:Just so anyone that is interested knows, these coolers DO NOT have spigots in them. However, they do have the little indentation on the bottom just like the ice cubes with spigots.
bigben said:I don't have a carboy, but im pretty sure it won't fit with the lid closed. It will fit width wise, if you just want to throw some icewater around it or something.

It will be easy to cut a hole in the side and add another weldless ball valve. I would have saved some serious cash on my MLT if this had been around a couple months ago.
richab said:So you just drill a hole and add valve to make a MLT?
cool
You're absolutely right. It does say "Liner Meets US FDA Safety Standards". Ok I feel better now.McKBrew said:Mine read something to the effect of FDA FOOD GRADE on the label.
Yea, my 5 gallon cooler had that problem. I had to use a bunch of washers and o rings to make it work.McKBrew said:I think the ball valve I use is 5/8" on the threads. I'll measure it first. For the best success on this, I'd drill the hole only as wide as it needs to be to accomodate whatever valve/posts you are going to use. Part of the problem with pre-drilled coolers is the hole is often larger than the piece going through resulting in sealing difficulties, and extra washers needed to stabilize the valve.
bigben said:Hey for those that have drilled a hole in this cooler...how thin is the wall where the spigot is. I want to get all stainless valves and stuff, and I am trying to figure out what I need.
If I just use one of these on the INSIDE of the cooler(with an o-ring and maybe a washer), will it reach to thread into a ball valve on the outside?

SixFoFalcon said:If you want to drill them for a fitting, be aware that there is no insulation in the indented area--just two plies of plastic. The total thickness is under 1/4" or so, so you will not want a "kewler kit" type fitting designed for a thicker wall.

If so, I may buy one.
beergears said:Isn't there a set of pics by Yooper with a self-made foam insulation lid around... typically the neck and airlock are poking through the new lid?
