Converting cooler into a mash tun with a copper manifold

This build was based on "How To Brew"; Palmer, John J; 2006; Appendix E, pp 287-295.

This was the very first built I did and brewed my first beer in this.

If I said "gee, wish someone would make a molecular transporter", would you take that as a challenge and make one?

You are one DIY mofo Jason. Keep it up.

Id be interested if you will get an occasional air lock in that woopty doop.....With that said, i will die by the sword of copper manifolds. I get 85-90% eff. with mine.

Andy I though of that, but with the shape and space in the cooler, there just was not room for a hookup below the manifold.

Bill, I just like working with my hands.
