Mash Tun | Insulated | 3.5 bbl

Our 3.5 bbl Insulated Mash Tun features slotted 3-piece false bottom, adjustable-height sparge arm, 4" TC port for optional grist hydrator, and a host of other key features guaranteed to satisfy the expectations of today’s pro brewer.

The mash tun has a slotted plate screen with a large grain out port on the side. The optional hydrator allows you to mix grain with hot liquor if you have your mill or grist case above the mash tun. There is a large top access for manual stirring. The walls of the mash tun are insulated to provide stable mashing temperatures. While intended for a single infusion mash, step mashing can be performed by recirculating through a heat exchanger. The sparge arm is adjustable in height and intended to have an inch of water above the grain and have the bottom of the diverted plate resting on top of the grain for low oxygen pickup during recirculating and sparging. We recommend using a grant to avoid creating suction on the bottom of the mash screen. It is possible to pull 23,000 lbs of force on the screen with a pump, and a fully stuck mash and even partial vacuums can produce significant force. Alternatively, you can install a vacuum breaker ahead of the pump. Replacement screens are available for special order.

We strongly recommend using a wort grant when pumping off the mash tun to avoid the possibility of collapsing the screens.
