I work for a metal fabrication company (has it's advantages as you will see) and have planned on using a gott cooler (10gal) for my mash tun. The question is this. We are developing the program to make the screen, from what I have seen/read the screens you buy may float when you put your hot liquor in it due to expansion of the plastic (don't really think a stainless screen will float...but). What I intended to do was to make the screen about 6mm larger than the cold measurement of the cooler, put about 150 degree water in the cooler, then put in the screen. (costing me about $1 for 304 stainless scrap, see the advantage of where I work, we use stainless like most people use paper). I think if I put a handle on the screen, I'll be able to pull it out with the same method.
Should I do this? Or just make it the right size to just sit in the cooler? I do see a problem of "ease" of cleaning.
