Features

  • The completely redesigned mash/lauter tun features thick insulation, a large 12+ gallon capacity and the first ever integrated thermometer.
  • Featuring all stainless steel fittings including our proprietary bulkhead and Titan False Bottom, this system is designed to last.
  • Everything you need to mash, sparge and collect wort is included so no additional purchases are necessary.
  • Simply remove the valves and thermometer, and the hot liquor tank will nest perfectly inside the mash tun for the smallest possible footprint for storage.
  • NOTE: A full boil is required for All-Grain brewing, so a boil kettle with an 8 to 10 gallon capacity is highly recommended.

  • Good Stuff
So far so good the threaded nipple that goes through the cooler could be a little longer. I had to remove the pre-installed grommet to get mine to thread together.

  • Very nice and economical mash tun
This is a nice product for the money. I've moved from extract brewing to all grain and didn't want to break the bank when it came to purchasing a mash tun. This one fit the bill! The size is decent and it's easy to put together and tear down. This makes cleaning a snap. It's light and easy to more around, and it holds its temperature quite well. I've brewed four batches of beer with it and look forward to using it for the next batch. Definitely recommended for anyone looking for an economical way to move into all-grain brewing. Cheers! :-) ... show more

  • You get what you pay for
The accessories such as valves, mash bottom screen and hose are all high quality. The actual containers themselves however, are cheaply made. They don't seem to be very well insulated, so you may need to add insulating material to the mash-tun for an hour long mash. I now use several layers of foil lined bubble wrap. The first time I used this without extra insulation I lost about 10 degrees in an hour. The liners are delaminating at the top where the white plastic joins the grey plastic. And the inside of my mash-tun is already bulging inward. Note: I have never had water inside these that exceeded 166 degrees F. But the price of this kit was very good, so I guess you get what you pay for. ... show more

  • Great construction and easy to assemble
My order was lost during shipping but customer service at Northern Brewer fixed it immediately. I will for sure go back to them in the future. Great construction and easy to assemble. A mash tun was probably the best money I've spent on brewing. Brew day is way easier and the quality of my beer increased dramatically. (This thing hold your mash at target temp perfectly!) ... show more

  • Both tuns failed - walls bubbled. No refund or follow up from Northern Brewer
Size: Starter Kit w/ 12 Gallon Mash Tun
Really bummed - the idea of using these coolers is not new, but northern brewer advertsied this set for cheaper and with all the hardware needed to set this up rather than making it yourself. I was game and got it - however since brewing only a few all grain batches, BOTH tuns have bubbled in the inside walls in multiple spots! Just cheap coolers... Totally sucks. I emailed northern brewer and they said they would send a ups label, and once they recieved both tuns back they would issue a refund. No apology, no 'what a bummer!' or anything like maybe try another set etc. But at least they were willing to do a refund, so ok. Never got a label though, emailed again and never heard back. So both tuns are unusable as I worry about them failing in the middle of a batch and I definitely did not get much use out of then (for what they were literally desogned to do!!) And no refund either for a poor quality product...though every Northern Brewer product has their ads for 'great customer service.' Bull. So - I recimmend you spend the extra cash and buy Igloo coolers - or better yet, save money and upgrade to a better mash tun set up. And NOT from Nothern Brewer. ... show more

  • Great way to get into All Grain Brewing
Have used these a couple times already, and am happy to report that they work like a dream. Easy to clean, easy to use, and great to have a spare 10 gallon cooler around should the need arise!

  • Excellent All Grain System.
I got to use this for the first time last weekend while brewing my first all grain batch with my brew club. I have never produced a better beer than what I have with this. I would highly recommend this for anyone looking to take the next step in their brewing adventure.

  • Very good instructions on putting the unit together
This is a well thought out conversion of a 10 gallon water cooler into a mash tun for brewing. Very good instructions on putting the unit together, as well as "how to" pieces on mashing, lautering and sparging.
