I have been lurking for a while so I figured why not post one of the projects I worked on this weekend. Any comments or critiques are welcome.
I have been looking for an excuse to go all grain after only having brewed for a few months and last week Target had a 52 QT cooler on sale for $21. After reading a lot of different builds I decided CPVC was the way to go. Below is my build which probably took a few hours but could have been reduced had I bought a new saw blade.
I bought two 5 feet sections of 1/2 inch CPVC.
Cuts
5 - 7"
1 - 6.5"
2 - 3"
10 - 2.5"
1 - 1"
Fittings
9 - 1/2" T
4 - 1/2" 90°
1 - 1/2" 45°
1 - 1/2" FIP Adapter
I also bought the cooler bulkhead kit from http://www.bargainfittings.com/ but did not order a coupling as I used the FIP adapter.
