[Wez]

Gutted..

Mash Tun failure (fatal) means that this brew isn't going to happen

It's a real PITA as because of work to the house this was my last chance to brew before Christmas, and I haven't brewed since July :shock:

Might make some Turbo Cider instead :lol:

Looks like I'll be getting a Thermobox for Christmas :pray:

 

[corby_brewer]

Thats a bummer mate. What is it with mash tuns? first mine and now yours.

 

[Nic_P]

Sorry about the MT m8, not good at all. :cry:
Have you lost all that grist, or did it fail before you doughed in?
Maybe swmbo will get you and early xmas pressie

 

[A T]

That's a bitch, sorry mate

 

[Muddydisco]

If you need I have my 65ltr tun you can borrow? Same as yours. Just tap is on the end not the side.

 

[Wez]

Thanks for the offer :thumb:

I'm going to get a thermobox..I think - I won't have time or space to brew after today for a couple of months.

Going to do a TC later :lol:

 

[Dunfie]

Thats a bummer mate. Nothing worse than setting aside time for a brew day only to be scuppered by equipment failure.

Hope the TC goes well. :thumb:

Sad day Please pay your respect to wez's fallen mash tun, I beleive she has served him well for many a year. She will be superceeded with bigger and shinier.
To the Mash tun :

Bummer

 

[Wez]

Well, i wasn't going to be beaten...

I've cobbled together a small tun and have just sat down after completing this brew.

36L of 1.044 wort is now sat waiting for the yeast to go to town..

Also managed to strip the bedroom wallpaper, visit my parents and spend a bit of time at the allotment...

I need a beer :
