G'day Brewers,
Is anybody else out there using a 55 litre Willow Esky as a mash Tun?
I am using one and are loosing about 3 - 4 c over a 60 - 90 minute mash ( only done 5 AG )
The finished beers still taste great though.
I normally sit the Esky on my work bench wrapped in a sleeping bag, yesterday i also added a piece of polystyrene inside the M.T sitting on top of the mash to see it it would help , but still lost 3 degrees over 75 minutes......it probably didn't help with it being -5 outside at 7:00am
I am seriously thinking of going to a stainless or ally pot as a M.T unless someone has some ideas.
