Building a Mash Tun: A DIY Project

As part of my 5 to 10 gallon brewery upgrade project, this step-by-step tutorial on making your own mashtun/lautertun from a picnic cooler will allow you to mash enough grain for ten gallon batches of beer. Featured is a homemade CPVC manifold for separating the wort from the grain and how to add a ball valve to your cooler.
