Saw a Walmart deal this morning for a decent cheap cooler for a mash tun, but it's a monster. If you are looking to get into all-grain, the 52qt from the same product line for was my choice for mashing and it works very well. If you have it shipped to your local store it's free shipping

I combined the existing rubber washers in my cooler with a ball valve and mesh screen setup from bargainfittings.com
For mine I had ordered one for a thick wall cooler, but in the end I had to buy some washers to add some space.

I have both the 52 and the 70 but I find myself using the 52 more often. But you know darned well you could need that 70 for a higher gravity barley wine, imperial stout, etc..... So I told the wife the 70 was hers for camping

and then I steal it for those higher gravity babies..

cheers!! Wayne
