Mash tun too small

Post by scotia » Thu Feb 20, 2014 6:33 pm

If only, :D pic of a Lauter tun I was working on this week

Image

40,000 ltr capacity mash cycle every 4 1/2 hrs x2 = 400,000 per 24hr :shock:

Image

10 ton of grist required each mash, no hand mill here

Image

Then fill these final volume is 8/9 % after distillation @ 70% proof
