Mash Tun

I can't believe I never posted about the mash-tun I made. I have two rectangular coolers at about 10gal and 4 gal. I built a system of interchangeable rigid PVC sections that fit together to fit either cooler, depending on which sections I use. These connect to a hose that I syphon the wart from and using a hose clamp I can change the flow rate pretty effectively. The wart goes through cuts in the tubes, which are fine enough I've never had any issues with stuck sparges (so far). This system is pretty easy to clean since all the tubes come apart.
