hoppyhoppyhippo said:For someone with experience. I'm gonna build a mashtun cooler for my 1 gallon batches I was wondering 2 things though first which is a better way for using the filter, doing the braid tubing or going with the false bottom? Second is a 2 gallon cooler enough? I know you don't want a ton of deadspace in the cooler, and I can get a 5 gallon cooler for cheap, but I'd rather get the right tool than the cheap one.
My 2 gal works fine for 1 gal batches. I did a circular braid into a T fitting and stuffed a 1/2 in coil spring inside the braid so it doesn't crush.
