Well Nick, it's hard to be sure without actually seeing all of this stuff in person. I guess my first question is why is there only one barb? I have 2 on my setup, one has the SS braid on it, the other I hook up my silicone tubing to. Also - just to be sure - you are planning on batch sparging yes?I found two orange igloo coolers on craigslist for 15 bucks each, ive been searching for the right parts to use to make the mash tun heres a list of what I plan on buying let me know if all these parts should work good.-1/2" Ball Valve, Copper (~$9)-1/2" LiquidTight Conduit, PVC (~$2)-1/2" Male to 3/8" Barb, Copper (~$4)-12"-16" Stainless Steel faucet hose (~$8)-Additional: 1/2" Straight Extender (~$.70)(One female end and one male end; the LiquidTight threads are not long enough to hold the Ball Valve due to insulation)Additional: Thread Sealing Tape (~$1.29)Additional: Hose Clamp (~$?...found a spare in the garage, holds the SS tube )

yes I plan on doing batch sparging, ive been just researching others equipment used on diffrent websites and came across the parts listed, so any updates as to what I may need would really help. So the one barb with the SS braid on it do you buy it with the SS braid on it? Also when I cut the SS facuet connector do I put something on the one open end so no grains go threw? Sorry for all the questions. Id rather be sure then mess something up.Well Nick, it's hard to be sure without actually seeing all of this stuff in person.

Since I use this cooler I followed these instructions almost exactly: My linkThe only thing I had to do differently was I had to put some extra spacers on the outside of the cooler so everything fit nice and snug. I think you'll find this write-up to be very helpful in planning out what you want to do.yes I plan on doing batch sparging, ive been just researching others equipment used on diffrent websites and came across the parts listed, so any updates as to what I may need would really help.
