Hello all,
i'm new to all-grain brewing, but I'm getting a second-hand 5-gallon Igloo-style cooler with my eyes on converting it to a mash tun very soon. I've surveyed the many sets of plans for a DIY mash tun, and most seem to fall into one of two categories; metal mesh hose or false bottom. What are the advantages of one style vs the other? False bottom seems more sturdy in the long run, but I already have a 12" length of unused toilet supply line that I could use for this project.
