This is a pretty common size purchased by all grain brewers. Let me let the In Shop Pro get back to you on this one with a more detailed answer.

And here is Bobby M's chart for the ease of the reader.

There seems to be a huge uprising in the number of new all grain brewers and the persistent question is "how big of a tun do I need?" It depends on what your batch size, efficiency, and desired OG is. Here's the easy way for you to decide based on your needs.

Keep in mind that even if you think you might want to do both 5 and 10 gallon batches, odds are your really high gravity beers will be 5 gallon batches. Who needs 10 gallons of barleywine?

Just for example, a 10 gallon mash tun can do 5 gallons of 1.118 barleywine (~11% ABV) and 10 gallon batches of 1.060 IPA (~6% ABV). I personally think something in the 50-60qt range is most flexible in that regard if you don't mind a square/rectangular cooler.

If you want to figure for larger or smaller batch sizes, take the number in the "Max Gravity Units" column and divide that by your desired batch size.

Is the false bottom stainless?

**Kegcowboy** · 11-25-2010, 01:33 PM

Yes it is. Here is the write up from our website - The 12" false bottom sells for $35.00 by itself.

This false bottom is designed to sit above the spigot of 10 gallon Rubbermaid coolers for easy wort removal. These bottoms are sturdy and will allow you to turn 10 gallon round coolers into a mash-tun, or you can use it as a screen to filter out whole hops. Constructed from type 304 stainless steel.

False bottoms are used to convert coolers or plastic buckets into mash/ lauter tuns. Constructed from 304 stainless steel these false bottom's will not float. Dome height is 1/2" for the 9", 10" ,and 12" diameter false bottoms. Comes with a 3/8" barbed 90° brass elbow hose fitting in the center to draw the wort from beneath the dome.
