| Uncle Jim's Mash Tun |
When I was up in NY I asked Uncle Jim if he would be brewing any time soon. He said no so I commandeered his mash tun. This is the same tun I posted about many moons ago. Well I can tell you it sure make sparging much easier but I think clean up is more troublesome.
When I first opened the valve the wort overshot the pot and went straight to the floor. And I can neither confirm nor deny the use of the kitchen sink sponge was used to clean the floor.

I figure we will go for the higher gravity and to get there we are using an extra 3 lbs of spray malt. Even though I have the 10 gal tun, the 5 gal boiling pot is still a limitation for getting a full grain imperial brew.

The conversion was top notch. It felt like all empty hulls. The little black specks are tiny bits of chocolate wheat.
