Title: Mash tun options
Post by: Pat_buttercups on March 16, 2015, 04:23:49 PM
hey all,
Looking to upgrade to a proper mash tun and was wondering if theres any good recommendations?
I really like the cylindrical ones made out of the igloo water coolers, then theres the normal box type ones most people seem to favor, or at least sell, and ive seen a few stainless steel ones out there?
so in respect to cost, ease of use, ease of cleaning, temp retention, efficiency etc. do we have any opinions or reconsiderations? thing with the cylindrical ones seems to be easier to get say a 10 gal one and do 5 gal batches easily enough without looseing temp you might in a box cooler. but without experience i cant say for sure
Cheers
