Are you sure it is rubber and not silicone?

Oh yeah, probably silicone. I just want to make sure I don't have another "new chiller" issue where some new part of my system spoils the batch. Would you be more concerned about the o-ring or the stainless or both or neither?Are you sure it is rubber and not silicone?

I would do a small PBW soak and then follow up with an acid rinse with star-san and call it good.

I can do that. No PBW here as I use Oxi on everything. How hot to make the Oxi soak? Just HOT or BOILING? I can't see boiling being necessary. Thanks Brother.I would do a small PBW soak and then follow up with an acid rinse with star-san and call it good.

You don't want to add boiling water to a plastic mash tun.

I haven't had an issue adding boiling water to mine. No warping and safe up to 130C.

His experience is different from mine. I think we have hotter boiling water in California than Oregon :-)

Whatever - I've seen too much warped plastic to try this and don't see the benefit. Mash temps should be fine for a rinse. Or wash

the inside of my cooler is bulging out in quite a few places and I'm not even putting boiling water in!

I'd get a new tun personally. This is what has me considering alternatives to my cooler. The insulated ss options are pricey as hell though and the idea of doing biab with 10 gals seems impractical.
Why impractical?

I'm fairly sure I'd need a larger kettle and then the weight of the wet grain when I go to pull it out would be no joke!
