Help with cooler mash tun conversion. Necessary parts?

[rtb178]

Hi everyone,

I'm getting a bit confused by all the mash tun builds. I have a coleman extreme 62 quart (w/ wheels) and I'm hoping to convert it. I see that bargain fittings .com has a weldless cooler kit; do I just need that plus a braid and that's it?

I've been reading these pages for info:

Thanks,

suggest hanging on to at least the gasket from the drain plug that came with the cooler. I got the 70qt extreme and had a b*tch of a time sealing it up until I used that along with the o-ring from bargain fittings (I got that same bulkhead from them)

ball valve?

+ pick up some teflon tape

Yeah, I'm going to try the three piece ball valve, and get some Teflon tape. I'll keep the gasket from the cooler as well. Thanks for your help!
