Good Morning Guys.
Just wondering if you could help choosing what to build a mash tun from.
I have a couple of options but not sure what the best route would be and I would prefer not to buy any more containers if possible.
Using an old but small cool box (Maybe 20L - Its so far in my garage I cannot reach it)
Using a 5 gallon steel kettle (huge sauce pan)
Using a beer Keg I have acquired from my local pub
I have lots of pipe fixing, stainless steel filters(bazooka screens), stainless taps etc
What do you guys think the best container would be to convert into a mash tun?
would I get benefits by using a smaller container and then using a Sparging system?
My current thoughts are to use foil insulation (looks like foil bubble wrap) to insulate the 5 gallon steel kettle. But not sure if it will hold temperature long enough.
Many thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
