I tried to make a DIY mash tun from a rectangular plastic picnic basket. I made the hole but realized the wall is too thick to fit the nut and washer. I was only able to fit the rubber ring and bazooka screen adapter. The ring certainly has a bigger diameter than the adapter.
The outside looks like this and i see a few gaps around the valve's nut.
I realize this is bad. I tested it with water too and it leaks. This was an old one that i already had. What do you suggest i do before buying another plastic cooler?
