Mash tun

[helmet]

I'm on the lookout for a mash tun (going to move to all grain soon) of anyone is thinking of selling on an old one,  or if anyone can recommend somewhere to buy one new.
Much appreciated!

If you fancy building one homestore and more are selling cool boxes at a good price..

Thanks McGrath. Are they well insulated do you know?

Any advice on manifold vs. bazooka?

I just scanned this threadand some people are sceptical about them actually. I looked at them briefly today and they appear alright.

I use a manifold and am happy. I've no experience with bazooka..

I got a bazooka a couple of months ago and after 3 brews I've had no issues with it. Can't say if its better or worse than a manifold though.

I'd advise getting a good big cooler though. Buy it once now so you wont need to upgrade later. I've a 33 litre from amazon, turns out it only really holds about 27L and I'm already eyeing upgrades. I reckon paying the bit extra for a 52 or 70 quart Coleman extreme would be well worth it.

Thanks Qs,  the one in Homestore and More is 60L, looks good.

I picked one of these up the other day, anyone have a link to a good step-by-step on how to attach a tap/valve?
