Also the mash tunn is built so it can be pulled apart occasionally for cleaning, but most times I reckon I'll just pump citric acid and water through it once I'm done mashing.

Cant wait to try it out, nearly as exciting as my first bubbler build :dance:


Keen to know how well this works so I can build one :-) Do the holes get clogged at all?

What pump are you using? How does it handle the heat?
