Hi there,
I just finished building my first mash tun from an Igloo 10 gallon cooler. Now that it's all finished I have a question.
Rather than a false bottom I used a braided stainless steel supply hose. I cut off one end and removed about half of the plastic interior lining. I crimped the end and voila!
My question about the crimped end. I'm worried that some stray stainless steel fibers might get into the wort. I'd like to put some tape or something around the end to prevent that from happening, but I doubt that will hold or be sanitary.
Has anybody else done this? Have you had problems with loose stainless strands?
Thanks!
Robert.
