You can use any plastic bucket, preferably of food quality plastic. Many hardware stores sell them at decent prices. A good trick is to have two of them, one inside the other, drill a gazillion holes in the bottom of the inner one, and fix a hose in the outer one, as low as possible. Easy, cheap, and effective. Or just one bucket, and a (copper?) manifold or other tube with lots of holes. A mash tun is possibly the easiest part to make yourself. The only considerations are that - it can keep the mash inside it - you can get the liquid wort out from the bottom of it - it does not loose too much heat. Any sort of insulation on the outside helps, as does a lid. As I often say: Don't worry, it will be beer anyway. -H -- Heikki Levanto heikki at indexdata dot dk "In Murphy We Turst"
