Margarita Mash Tun - by gregscsu

Picture
I recently emptied out a margarita bucket and decided that it would make a good mini mash tun for starters. I had all the copper tubes on hand and it took about an hour to put it together.


I tried it out last night and was quite pleased with the results, 2 Lbs of grain yielded 2 gallons of 1.030 starter wort.
It even held temps fairly well, dropping from 152 to 148 over a 60 minute mash.

The mini mash tun maxes out at 2.5Lbs of grain at a 1:1 ratio and gets 80% efficiency when making 1.030 starter wort.
