As everyone knows, with larger setups there is the side door you remove used grist from your mash tun.

Question is: How do you clean a 30G Mash Tun that is part of a HERMS, when it is MOUNTED to a brewing platform.

In other words, whats the method to clean a mash tun that has no door, or without moving it.

Scoop, then rinse out drain spout? Seems a little inefficient to me. What about the area beneath the drainspout? You'd have to at least tip it, but a large kettle is a little silly to remove to clean.

Thanks gents,
 
Other than scooping it out and rinsing I don't see any other way to clean it out besides removing it to clean. I am interested to see if anyone has an idea though...maybe I am not thinking "outside the box" here.
