Hi,
I am in the process of piecing together the bits to build a herms system.
I was originally planning on using a stainless tun, but yesterday I found a 55l rectangular esky on a council cleanup pile. Nothing wrong with it that a good clean wont fix.
I'm now planning to use the esky, as I would imagine that heat loss through it would be minimal, especially if I insulate the hoses from the herms unit.
Is there any reason why this wouldnt be a good idea, and I should proceed with the stainless keg like vessel for the tun?
I was thinking of a copper slotted manifold for it as I have enough left over copper from our renovation to make a nice manifold.
