Title: mash tun wanted
Post by: LordEoin on January 20, 2017, 01:31:10 PM
A friend of mine in Cork is looking for a mash tun.
30-36 liter cooler would be ideal if anyone has one they'd be willing to sell.

I have one spare, but likely too big, as think it's closer to 60 litres. No problem to borrow if he's stuck.

I have a 45L Igloo mash tun I'd be willing to sell...again that might be too big.   Bought it on the forum last January, works perfectly but only got about 4-5 brews before I bought a Bulldog brewer and stopped using it.

I'd sell it for €50. 

Paid €60 for it last year and it's barely been used so I reckon that's fair- photos etc here (www.nationalhomebrewclub.ie/forum/for-sale/sold-45l-igloo-mash-tun-60/?)
I'm based in Limerick.

Hi Keg,

I'm not sure where you are based, but I would be interested in the mash tun, if Eoin's friend does not get back to you.
