Excellent Kit

Review by Adam on 8/7/2021

Worked perfectly on a Lowe’s 10 gallon cooler. Two batches down with this system and very happy with the quality of the materials, instructions and performance! I had a slight issue that was my fault and I cut the rubber false bottom seal trying to get it on. I contacted Willam’s Brewing to buy another one and they sent one right out free of charge - that’s excellent service from a great company.

Good kit

Great for your mash tun . One thing the instructions don’t say is to use plenty of Teflon tape around where the nuts will finally seat on the valve and thermometer threads. Learned the hard way. They should update the included instructions.

Does What It Does Well

This was one of many pieces ordered to turn my wine making gear into whole grain brewing. This fit nicely in my 10 gallon Gatorade cooler (apologies to my Scout Troop). Easy clean up and held my grain bed in place.

Worked well with one exception

This cooler conversion kit worked really well. All the pieces were there and the false bottom worked great on my first brew with it. My only complaint, and it's not with the product itself, was that it's very difficult to get a good seal using a Rubbermaid cooler. I ended up getting some more Teflon tape, fender washers, and a gasket. It still leaked a little bit of water but once I started mashing it stopped. After reassembling about 15 times I was frustrated enough that I said I could live with the very small leak. Fortunately it stopped almost immediately with use. My recommendation is to get an igloo cost.

Works well but has one annoying issue

Overall the conversion kit works well but the silicon lip that goes around the mesh edge does not stay on. Simply removing the false bottom can knock this off and it is a little difficult to put on. It is already showing signs of a slight tear. If the silicon lip had a larger or deeper design it would probably stay on.
