I have been using a bucket in bucket mash tun for a couple of years, and it works pretty good. The only thing I really dislike about it is the fact that there are always a couple of litres (halv a gallon or so) of water under the grain bed, thus not being a part of the actual mash.
I would like to minimise the amount of water by reducing this "dead space". But how?
Someone suggested marbles, but cleaning a gazilion marbles after each mash seems like a real pain.
The best idea I have gotten so far is to put a couple of dinner plates on the bottom, but there must a more effective solution.
Any ideas?
It's okay if the solution makes both buckets unsuited for any other use. I only use them for mashing anyway
