mash tun

Anyone know what might have happened here? Brewing a vienna lager this morning, mashing in with 60c strike water, and the wort turns milky instantly. Then the element in the mash tun (under a false bottom) scorched instantly and tripped out. Recipe was mainly Vienna malt, small amount of pils...

Yo guys, So... My setup is basic AF with a converted 50L cool box as a mash tun, and a 33L steel pot on a stove converted with a ball valve. I then ferment in plastic buckets and keg/bottle depending what I fancy/the style. As basic as it is, I get some pretty great results. I'm about to do...

Hi guys, I'm upgrading my setup by replacing my trusty bucket-in-a-bucket mash tun with a picnic cooler style mash tun. My current tun consists of two identical plastic fermenters - the outside vessel wrapped with several layers of insulation, the inside vessel drilled with lots of tiny holes...

Hi all. I want to upgrade from my current cooler box mash tun to one where I can control the temperature accurately. Do some step mashing etc. Looking at this, and think it's a pretty good deal...

Hi All, My rather old ice box mash tun is finally dying, as the skin is cracking around the top. Time to build a new one. I am in the rather nice position of being richer than I was when I bought that about 17 years ago. I've been reading the nice thread on modding a buffalo boiler to make a...

I have one of these kettles for sale, used only once and then I changed from BIAB to a Robobrew (kitchen stove couldn't handle full volume boils too well). Seems a pity for it to sit in the shed; so would rather someone else gets the use of it. RRP £64.50 From "The Home Brew Shop" site...
