120 quart cooler converted to mashtun...75 dollars 30 lbs of grain and associated in mashtun...30 dollars Having to dig out the valve on your mashtun when your buddy knocks off the screen filter while breaking up dough balls...in Priceless! Do not let intoxicated people reassemble the filter system in your mashtun. They forget to actually screw in the filter causing you to be completely covered in hot sticky goodness. If this was a porn shoot it would be ok, but since it was three guys in a garage it did not make for a good time. We scooped the grains and water out using a pot and put it in some buckets till we were able to dig the crap out of the ball valve and re-attach the filter, so after about 20 minutes of bitching we were able to pour it back in and do the runoff and get to the sparge. The new 15 gallon kettle is one of the best investments we have made as of yet next to the 50 ft. immersion chiller and the grain mill. It was only the first batch, but it worked great. Hopefully it holds up over time. |
