Kegland 14 Gallon Insulated Mash Tun – on sale for $99.99, save… $60!

Insulated Cooler Mash Tun | Hot Liquor Tank | 14 gal.

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

If you’re ready to step up to all grain brewing, this converted insulated cooler works wonders as a mash tun! The 14-gallon size can hold upwards of 25 lbs of grain, so there’s plenty of room for even the strongest 5-gallon beer recipes and is perfect for most 10 gallon batches up to 1.070 SG. Comes pre-assembled with stainless steel perforated false bottom, high temperature silicone tubing, and 1/2″ female threaded ball valve. Pair the valve with the male threaded fitting (plus a little plumber’s tape) that best suits your setup and you’ll off and running.

The cooler also works perfectly as a Hot Liquor Tank. Use with the false bottom in place, or simply remove it and keep it on hand in case you decide to use the cooler as a Mash Tun down the road. Two of these coolers plus the Fermentap Sparge Arm Assembly work perfectly as a gravity fed all-grain setup. To connect the cooler’s ball valve to the sparge arm assembly, we recommend a 1/2″ MPT x 3/8″ Barb fitting and 3/8″ ID silicone tubing. Plumber’s tape will ensure you have a leak-proof connection between the barb fitting and the ball valve.

Includes:

Insulated beverage cooler
Max Volume: 14.7 Gal (56 L)
Stainless dome-shaped perforated false bottom
High temperature silicone tubing
Stainless 1/2″ BSP ball valve
External Dimensions: Approx. 19″ L x 19″ W x 22″ H

Making a Mash Tun MLT – Start All Grain Brewing!

What’s a Mash Tun?

A mash tun is a container that holds grain and warm water. The warm water activates enzymes in the malt and converts complex carbohydrates to yeast-friendly simple sugars.

A mash tun can be as simple as a bucket. Many homebrewers convert coolers to mash tuns. Those have the advantage of insulation. That insulation helps maintain a steady temp throughout the mash process. Kettles are also regularly used as mash tuns and there are also some purpose built stainless mash tuns. An example of that is Ss Brewtech’s InfuSsion Mash Tun.

Components of a Mash Tun

A container – Examples: bucket, cooler, kettle, keggle or a purpose built vessel
Filter device/mechanism – Examples: false bottom, bazooka screen
Ball valve and tubing
Optional – sparge arm, thermometers

I use this same cooler for my mash tun and it has worked great for me for years. tn_img_0322-300x225 It holds temperature very well and it has held up like a champ. It would also make a good HLT. This has a lid that’s pressure fit (not threaded). Since the lid isn’t threaded, you can fit a temperature probe underneath – See: Hands On: ChefAlarm Thermometer

I bought this last time I featured it on Homebrew Finds at $20.39 which I consider a bargain. I haven’t used it yet but it’s a really… cool (did you see what I did there) cooler in a great size. Definitely a cooler as a cooler sort of thing, I don’t see it being used for a mash tun, but super neat to carry your homebrew and other stuff around in, especially at this price.
