Screwy's 5 Gallon Mash Tun
I assembled and tested my 5 gallon mash tun made from parts I bought off the shelf at my local Home Depot (see complete parts list below). The Rubbermaid cooler cost $20.00 and the other assorted plumbing parts added about another $35.00. For less than $60.00 you can built your very own mash tun in under 4 fours, including making a trip to Home Depot.
Complete project parts list:
1 - Home Depot Store SKU # 442438 Rubbermaid 5-Gallon Jug with Cup Dispenser
1 - Watts 3/8 OD x 7/8 BC x 20 inch stainless steel braided filler connector
1 - Danco 80746 Moen Repair Kit 5/8 O rings
1 - Mueller 107-702 3/8 Ball Valve - Full Port
1 - Crown Bolt Inc. Create-A-Bolt 5/8 stainless steel
2 - Watts A-785 3/8 MIP x Close Nipple
1 - Watts A-773 3/8 MIP Square Heap Plug
3 - Watts A-298 3/8 Barb x 3/8 FIP Hose Barb Adapter
3 - Stainless steel 1/2 hose clamps
I've used the mash tun for 3 all grain batches and it works perfectly, holding the mash temperature rock steady for 60 minutes and the grain filter does a great job of keeping your wort clear of large debris.
