Mash Tun Conversion

January 19, 2008 · Posted in Beer, Projects 

So I finally got all the needed equipment to convert my 70qt Coleman Extreme cooler into a Mash Tun.
Mash Tuns are used for All Grain brewing. So for a small budget I was able to build a nice piece of equipment to move myself into the next phase of homebrewing. All Grain recipes leave more to the imagination and creativity of what you want to brew.

Here are some pics:

Next project is convert a Keg into a Keggle (Boiling Kettle), this will allow me to make 10 gallon batches instead of 5 gallons.

    That turned out really nice…I’m interested to hear how the efficiency is on that tun. Lemme know!
