I just got my 200L Mash tun.

Hopefully within the next week i will be putting on some AG :happy-partydance:

Sweet as can I ask how much that set you back :scared-eek:

It cost me $580 for the tun with the custom immersion coil (Would have been cheaper without the coil, but i wanted to have it for cooling/Heating) I got it delivered to my door as i didn't want to deal with all the problems at customs and port fees etc, So postage cost me another $400. It ended up costing a bit, but its alright :D

Considering a plain used stainless drum goes for 300-400 on gumtree I would say you did well. Is it all sanitary welded?

Thanks mate :handgestures-thumbupleft:


Yeah all sanitary welded. I made sure of that first because i have seen mash tuns that are not sanitary welded and trying to clean them..

Holy shit!
I thought my 114L pot with false bottom was big!

Where was this purchased

I have a supplier over in China. I was thinking of getting a few more as i just ordered one for a friend. But not sure if anyone would be interested.

Might want to read the commercial advertising rules before you go any further with that venture on this forum.

Hey Sam :greetings-waveyellow:


I thought you would comment. I’m not a commercial seller or seller as any sort and understand that 5star is the sole advertiser on AD. Just if anyone was interested I was more then happy to help. Not looking for a profit

All good as per your PM, keep an eye on the group buying section of the forum :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Finally got around to setting up the mash tun. It’s taken a while.

I’m just waiting on the silicone hoses and connects to come then will be up and running :happy-partydance:

Its actually for corn. I'm not sure how i'm going to set it up yet, still trying to figure that out, Sam gave me some good ideas :handgestures-thumbupleft: But i found it on gumtree for $30 so i couldn't not buy it :happy-partydance:

But i have 2 elements after the false bottom of my mash tun that i will use for the strike water and then i have a 5star rims that I'm going to setup. I still have to set up all the plumbing, i have an immersion chiller that I'm going to connect and use my still cooling lines.

Finaly got it all up and running. Giving it a good clean out now :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Next week time to start mashing :D

Blue and red pex pipe is connected to my still cooling lines and IBC's. It should cool the wort quick enough and save buying another cooler.

Sweet as very jelous :mrgreen:

And here I was getting all excited about my new 80l mashtun build.

But how the hell are you gonna clean out that thing at the end of a mash?

:laughing-rolling: yeah it's going to be a bit of a pain.. I'm hoping to get a stand made with some kind of swing for the mash tun. So I can swing it forward and clean it out easy.
