So.... yeah I broke my mash tun today.
Had just made my manifold all be it a bit wonky and rubbish but works.
Started to connect my tank connector when it just split.
I suspect it was because my tank connector was going through all 3 layers rather than just the inner wall.
MASH TUN DISASTER!

Re: MASH TUN DISASTER!
I say suspect, but I'm 100% that's why it broke!
But another has been ordered same one now I know my mistake.
Same one because I had just finished my wonky manifold!

Re: MASH TUN DISASTER!
The crack had chunks missing so probably more than worth the hassel. New one should be here friday.
