Careful in your diameters on that one, mine arrived and is snug on my 60l thermopot mash tun no amazing build quality but tough enough to do the job with straps all around, I got it to feck around with tbh to see if it helps clean up on a herms and a stuck sparge I experienced a couple of weeks back
Another bit of cupboard kit I suppose :)

Does that mean it didnt help with the stuck sparge? haha

Yeah I wasn't sure if that one was going to fit the keggle so I ordered one of the mashedin.beer ones instead. The amount of money I've spent on 'little' things that have ended up been the wrong size... The mashedin lads are more expensive but custom make them to fit and they look really good - very fine mesh and sturdy. We can compare when it arrives and see if I've wasted more money!  ;D

I'll post a pic of my setup later on this. Used once so far. Needs to get an extra hole for the return from my herms, but def made cleaning the tun easier, as it was just a case of rincing after the mash. That said, a bag is a messy bugger to lift when full, so next time I'll still bail out some of the grain before lifting out the bag, just to keep it all nice and clean.

Herms liquid return, so it's flowing over the top of the grainbed.
