So, last night, to test the seal on my new mash tun, I filled the thing up with ten gallons of water and let it sit overnight with the valve closed. In the morning, the level had gone down just a tiny bit and there was a very slow drip right at the valve egress.
Now, I'm not exactly sure of the cause, but I have a couple of things to try. First, I'm going to apply a little more sealant gel stuff, which I imagine can't hurt. Second, I'm going to use a little Teflon tape on the threads of the hose barb I have connected to the ball valve. I did this on my first mash tun and I'm not sure why I skipped that step this time. Wish me luck!
