Mash tun was great bought a 1/4 to 3/8 reducer from BnQ that fitted the tap screw perfectly so could attach hose lock connect and my flase bottom A la Daab

The mash tun, or the false bottom? ;)

The False bottom's a nice design

I'm contemplating getting the same mashtun in a 50L size. That should be plenty for big brews and parti gyles...and it's shiny :D
