Goodmorning!
I am in the market for a new mash tun. My original mash tun I converted myself out of a 48 quart rectangular cooler. However, the filter hose has become all mangled over years of use and now that I'm brewing 10-gallons batches using the batch sparge method, it's just not big enough to sparge in one shot.
Ideally what I'd like to buy is a ready made large cooler-style tun that can handle 10 gallon batches using single-sparge batch sparges. Initially I was attracted to the idea of a false bottom, but I've read that they leave a lot of room at bottom that is then kinda useless. Do the ready made bazooka screens work well or do they tend to get stuck?
Any advice would be helpful! Thank you very much.
