Hello Dave,
I have read this thread a couple of times over the last few days, as I am just about to start building a set up similiar to yours. You seem to have done a top job. I am using three 50 litre CUB barrels. I like your idea of using the cut off lid as the false bottom. The brass bung that you have at the bottom of the mash tun is interesting. I know this sounds like a stupid question, but what does it do? Does it act as a strainer of sorts? Is there much that you would change if you started again? What sort of seals did you use where your bulkhead fittings sealed against the kegs, they looked like red fibre washers. I know I have asked alot of questions, but I am just trying to get a few things straight in my head before I start.
Cheers
