The Tun is Dun

Post by andrewtrsmith » Sun May 29, 2011 10:34 pm

Finally starting to make the move to all grain. I took my Coleman xtreme cooler ( i think its 60qt?) and with a handful of stuff from PA and home depot came up with a really simple mash tun.

3/8 ball valve & nipple
Copper coupler
two 1/2 barbs
4 fender washers
1 stainless sink hookup

All-grain, woo hoo!
At Alexander Keith's we follow the recipes first developed by the great brewmaster to the absolute letter. :wtf:

Is the washer on the inside stainless?

I had trouble finding one that wasn't galvanized. I ended up making mine work without a washer.

That thing is a carbon copy of my Tun! Works great!

I got my stainless washers at Home Depot.
