Mash Tun part 2, revisions
After building the basic mash tun, I found that a lot of the work was going to be needed in the details. You know the old saying? This represents some of the details in getting the mash tun design to work.
This section is divided into the following sections for convenience:
Sparge apparatus is built with a float valve to eleminate the frustration of regulating the sparge level. Just set the outflow and your set.
A simple design so that the mash liquor can be recirculated to the top of the grain bed without disturbing it. Design made easier to clean than its earlier breathen.
Besides the obvious benefits of heat insulation, the new lid is designed to hold the two above mainfolds at any height above the grain bed.
Redwood slates give it a nice polished look and keeps heat from escaping from the sides.
