I meant my mesh filter idea wouldn’t work for the mash tun, not your pipework!

Good point. Would probably work ok for filtering the hops out after the boil but probably insufficient for the mash tun

Nice. I was thinking of doing something similar with the pipe work but saw somewhere where someone had used one of the metal flexible pipes that you get under taps. Remove the inner pipe and you have a mesh pipe which you can use as a filter. Sounds much easier!

So it’s just pushed together? I’d be worried about it falling apart! Have you added any extra insulation to the cool box?

Not got a mash tun yet, just looking at options. I know the cool boxes are popular, think I’m leaning towards a fermentation bin with a false bottom though

Hi, I’ve done a few kit beers over the last few years and been pretty impressed with them but looking to get more serious and make the move to all grain soon. I’ve already got a boiler (I did a mini mash kit which needed a boil last year) so just need to sort myself a mash tun out and I’m good...
