1st attempt at a mash tun

[31bb3]

Right so Ive made my mash tun its not the prettiest of things I know ive filled it with water only out of the tap so the temp is not strike temp it started at 49.1 degrees after 90 min it dropped to 48.1 so not bad still got to insulate the lid but i thought not bad any feedback would be appreciated

good work mate, and dont forget once the grains in it will hold the temperature better.

That looks a lot like my tun :thumb:
I just drape another couple of pieces of tank lagging over the lid to insulate it
When properly pre heated I find the temperature loss over 90 minutes to be negligible

I was thinking of getting my hands on some polystyrene ceiling tiles for the top and bottom also i had a daft idea of standing it on my heat tray ?

Every one's telling you you've got the right idea Eddy, go with it.
