I recently upgraded my ten gallon brew system's mash tun to a Coleman 70 quart Xtreme cooler to accommodate larger grain bills and also designed a new CPVC manifold that is 89% better at wort collection than my previous design.

Buy the cooler shown in this video (and get me a small commish): https://amzn.to/2DGRoe8
