Hello folks,
I was hoping you could lend me your thoughts on this.
My buddy and I are going to up our capacity to 30+L batches pretty soon and we are looking at a 66L mash tun from my home brew store. I am hoping for this to be a good long term solution giving us freedom to brew to different capacities. It is seemingly made from a very high quality cooler and they assure me heat loss won't be an issue.
However, I want to know whether this will be an issue when for example we brew a standard 5 gallon batch. Even at 30L you are still going to have some head space. Does anybody here brew with a large mash tun such as this? And have you experienced problems when mashing smaller batches?
Thanks in advance!
Graeme
