I built myself a 60lt Mash Tun with the intention of taking up all grain brewing but now have no time for same.
The Tun has a 3/4inch copper manifold and a lever operated ball-valve tap. Excellent temp maintenance and only used a few times so it's in original pristine condition.
All reasonable & sensible offers considered.

Can you post any pic?
I am looking to step up from partial mash to all grain so this would be ideal for me. Roughly how much are you looking for it and where are you based?
Thanks
Interested too...
I'll give you 40 for it.
Me Me Me ;D ;D ;D
Aidan I see you are looking for €100 on another forum, irrespective of the commercial value of them, I think you are gonna struggle with that as members here are reporting they are building brand new 37-45L ones for 70-80 :(

I get you but that one is only 35lt while mine in 60lt and the homebrewwest one only has a 12" bazoka filter while mine has a full copper manifold and s
tap.
I looked around the web for similar and the only one I found in Ire was this http://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/insulated-mash-tun-new-design-66litre-capacity-p-1098.html which is €200 hence my €100 tag but I will welcome a good offer I couldn't take €40 - sorry JimmyM.
I'll try post a pic today
Aidanmac 8-)
No probs.
Can anyone show me how to insert a few pics to a post - I'm a bit thick today and can't figure it out ::)

Simplest way is just to look down below the window where you type and find the Attachment area:
Browse your PC for a jpeg and attach it. Simples!
I tried that...clicked on "Browse" and a window opened showing my HD. I clicked on the relevant folder then the pic I wanter and the name etc appeared in the little window for the first "Attachment 1" but when I clicked on "Post Message" I got a red "Note" in the attachments area saying "If you had an Attachment in your post, you will need to reselect the Attachment again in the Browser Box for security reasons."
Did that but nothing happened and gave up after twenty attempts ::)
Note to admin, please consider using postimage.org to make it simples for nuts like me :-/

Aidan, I think the image has to be smaller than 400kb. Also, I think that the "If you had an Attachment in your post, you will need to reselect the Attachment again in the Browser Box for security reasons." message only comes up after you click preview? Then you have to select the image again before posting.
I agree that attaching images is a bit fiddly! I think most people here upload them to another site first and then post a link to the image.
Not a bit techie myself so I know where you are coming from. I download the image on to me pc and it is too big so I resize it in, "Paint", your free software. Resize it from 100% to 25%,if it does not fit,works a treat. This picture came from a google page,called beer. Saved image to my pc and then clicked choose file and then posted message.
Another try...
...how's it looking now?
Looks like the same cooler I have. Homestoreandmore job?
Ooh "the homestore and more" slur is it any good Rukkus?
We are really not helping you here Aidanmac, but you have to be realistic with your price expectations as absolutely you have a target audience here but we also know the value of HB hardware, sharpen your pencil and see what happens.
Its HUGE which is handy. Seems to do the job. I havent used it alot yet. I picked it up for about 30 quid on sale at the end of last summer.
I think if its not full it drops temp a bit but i didnt pre heat it when testing so i wouldnt be 100% yet.
Thinking of using mine for parti gyle as it will hold alot of grain. Waiting on the weather to heat up a bit and hope to get loads of use out of it this summer.
+1 on what Ciderhead said aidenmac.
Points taken. ;)
However, I wasn't fortunate enough to get the cooler as cheaply as Rukkus said and paid €45 for mine. ::)
All those nice shiny copper fittings, pipe, tank connector and lever valve didn't come with it and cost €27. Total parts cost €72 plus all the time and labour I put into it ::)
Then I looked around to see what a shop-bought mash tun of the same size costs and only found one HBS in Ireland selling one that size at €200. :o
I've seen that particular model, I occasionally visit that HBS, and the quality is not as good as mine and it's only fitted with a 12" bazooka for a filter.
That's why the €100 ask but that was never cast in stone I'm looking to recover material costs to put the money to something else I need and I was prepared for reasonable offers...I did say reasonable didn't I ;)
At the end of the day, if it's not worth the cost of the parts to someone else then it's just not. :P
In that case I'll just recycle to copper fittings to other projects and keep the cooler in the hope that we might get BBQ weather this year and use it for a portable beer/wine fridge ::)

I payed 80e for my 48qt coleman cooler. Big volume coolers are not cheap & its unfair to compare them in price to a 35 litre one from amazon.
