Ultimate Mash Tun Brew Kettle - 15.5 Gallon

Mash tun delivered yesterday. Upon unpacking and assembling I was impressed by the quality of this product. I cant wait to use this on my next brew day.

The ultimate mash tun appears to be appropriately named. My burner on low raised the temp to protein rest and mash temperatures beautifully and controllably. I didnt overshoot the temps. The thickness of the steel retains heat pretty well. The false bottom worked well for mashing and for catching quite a bit of boiling hops. The blichman brewmometer works well and I like how you placed it below the false bottom to protect it because it takes a substantial spoon to stir the mash in a large vessel. Going by the taste test of the grain (didn''t use iodine) it appears that I acheived a pretty good conversion to fermentable sugars. Definitely a quality item that works. I haven''t tasted the beer yet but it smells good and the yeast are working furiously.

You may or may not remember us, but you built our mash tun and we are having great success with it.
