Baratone Brewer's 60qt Igloo Cube Conversion

5/7/2012

Picture
I've been working on converting a 60qt Igloo Cube to a MT, needed something to hold more than my existing 10gal Rubbermaids. After trying several different ideas on how to utilize the existing drain, (which is located approx 2 1/2" off the bottom in the back of the cooler at a 45degree angle, not exactly ideal for a MT). I decided to drill for a new drain spout in the front of the cooler. I thought that I would provide some pics in case anyone is interested in converting one as well. I had most of the parts lying around so the cost was very minimal. I also went with all copper and SS and cost could be reduced by subing brass for the SS. Initial testing of my design showed 1.32qts of dead space.

Parts that I Used
1- 1/2" male to female copper pipe adapter
1- 1/2" copper street 90
1- 1/2" copper tee
3- 1 1/4" lengths of 1/2" ID copper pipe
7- 1 1/2" diameter SS washers (1/8" thick with a 7/8" ID)
1- 1/2" x 2" SS nipple
1- 1/2" SS ball valve
2- SS hose clamps
2- food grade o-rings
3ft- 1/4" OD copper utility coil
4ft- 3/4" SS braid
