Hi guys,
My brother works for a company that builds custom coolrooms, and they're getting rid of a bunch of coolroom panel off cuts, so he called me to see if I wanted anything made from it for my brewing (so thoughtful ), so he's going to build me a nice little box for a party keg, but it also got me thinking that I can use this to give me a leg up into AG and maybe I could get a mashtun while he's at it. So, what would be the ideal dimensions/size for a mashtun? I'm assuming a tun made out of coolroom panel would be heavy, but awesomely well insulated which would be good. Initially I'd be doing single batches, but I'm all about scalability, especially when it's not costing a lot
I'd also prefer to go the false bottom route if possible (easier for me as I'm not overly handy ), but I don't know how practical that will be. Any ideas would be awesome however
