So, thanks for Freegle i've managed to acquire a 40L electrically cooled Halford's cool box.
Paul and I are going to retrofit a ball valve and grain seive into this to make a mash tun.
However (there's always a however) this comes with caveats. Firstly, it's an electric cool box - can we convert the electric component to produce heat or should we just junk it and insulate the lid?
Secondly, there is a 'moisture outlet' in the base of the box - a small 2mm in diameter hole that is plugged up. How the hell are we going to make that watertight?
Finally, the instructions for the box say explicitly DO NOT FILL WITH LIQUID. Is this really a thing we shouldn't do?
All comments on a postcard please!
