I think it would work just fine small volume or not if you used their MTS heater. Though I cannot speak to this with certainty because I do not own a MTS

Currently 5 batches in on mine. Always held within .2-1 degree fahrenheit. I do 10 gallon batches so it has always been at least half full and as much as 3/4 full in garage temps. roughly 30-65 degrees. I believe that headspace is the issue. Same is if you took a 10 gallon igloo and tried to...

So, if the headspace is the issue. What always worked for me using a cooler was to put foil as a radiant barrier on top of the mash. I have also seen reflectix or foil wrapped foam board as a radiant barrier, though I don't have experience with the latter methods Just spitballing here edit...

Just to show, at least in part I didn't make this up and am really a sleeper agent for brewtech, here is a brewday pic. I know it doesn't prove anything or confirm my claims. All temps were verified with the green thermapen you see by the tun. Look at the relative fill level in the manometer...

Well I wasn't referencing or disputing anything you said. This was my experience. Though I am biased, I like my shiny new huge mash tun, and the many benefits to me and my current and future set up, I was merely reporting my experience and the numbers I saw. I did not have any of the...

I thought I would post my experience from last Sunday. Made a best bitter 15 gallon batch. Mashed at a 1.5:1 ratio with a total mash volume of approx 13 gallons. I did not purchase the mash heater. Transferred 10 ish gallons of strike water to the cold tun at 175 degrees. temperature...
