  • How are you getting on with this, have you used it much? Have you found an improvement from your burco?

    I'm currently using a cheap buffalo, but thinking of getting one of these instead.

  • Yes and no. It's not quite big enough to be a HLT although you can always add sparge water after the mash. We've used it successfully as a passive mash tun for a straight infusion mash and it holds heat well with a blanket thrown over it. The temp control adjustment is not fine enough to hold an infusion mash steady, nor is the bottom plate method really suitable - I think you'd need to go HERMS or RIMS. The false bottom and tap are both good. HTH.

  • Thanks for the info, I might stick with what i have for now then as my plan was to use it for brew in a bag, which I have been doing successfully with my Buffalo, but it doesn't hold a constant rolling boil so i end up boiling for 90+ minutes to make sure it's sterilised.
