Mash Tun Cleaning

What is the best/easiest way of cleaning out a mash tun?

Hi!
PBW or similaar oxy-type cleaners.

I just tip mine out into a bin bag and rinse with a hosepipe

No need to be squeaky clean. Hot water and a little detergent does it fine.

Hi @BigFran
In my earlier reply I assumed that you were referring to a dirty or stained mash tun.
I, too, simply rinse it out as the wort is boiling, and I also run water through the pump at the same time,

Haha @Bigcol49 I read that as you rinse it out WHILST the wort is boiling

. I like to imagine you make very special beer :P.

Today will be my first day using a pump if I can bring myself to go out to the garage and set everything up!

Oh and if I can choose what to make!
