Good find! I might be interested. My current one is breaking my heart with it's poxy heat retention.

There's a cheaper 'seat top' one there too. What's the difference? Will they both hold the temperature? Once there's 2 on an order it's free shipping.

I think the seat top one is only 5 gallons?

Ouch, they're only $40 in the US!

I've found a place in the North that has the Igloo equivalent for £90. Gonna try get one next week, or get someone to get one for me.

Almost the same price for the Rubbermaid ...
I'm sure if we were buying 4 - 10 of them we could get the price matched by the crowd here ...

You fancy getting a 10 gallon one each and we'll get them delivered?
Sure why not. Count me in!

Sorry! I've already ordered. All you need is an order of 2 for free shipping though.

Damun why don't you put up a list, determine interest and start a group buy, I am sure you will get a good deal on 5 or more?

Damien M

Working on price's from uk and here to see can I get it cheaper or handier and will group buy it when I have prices. I have wanted one for a while as I reckon sparging efficiency would be better.???

Ordered this last Tuesday it arrived this morning.  96 euro total cost incl delivery.

Off to the HBC now for a false bottom and I'll be all set.  I'll hopefully do my first brew with it tomorrow.

I bought said false bottom also. It works very well in the igloo. One reservation I have with it is the finish could be better. Specifically, it's got some fairly sharp edges on it. I've seen others that are not perforated to the edge which I think is a better design.

Have to agree with you on the finish of the false bottom, but I'm happy now to have a decent mash tun.  I was losing on 6-8 degrees in the space of an hour on my old one (cheap Tesco cooler) and that was after insulating it with expanding foam.

split a length of Aquarium tubing.
Run it around the edge.

Is that safe? PVC at mash temps? I was thinking using a bit of cotton. I reckon it could be useful in terms of clearing the wort as a side effect.
