Product details

We’ve taken our All-Grain Cooler System and added upgrades to provide the best possible brewing experience. The completely redesigned mash/lauter tun features thick insulation, a large 12+ gallon capacity and the first ever integrated thermometer. The large capacity will easily handle any 5 gallon brew you can throw its way, from session beers to Imperials, and it's even large enough to accommodate 10 gallon batches up to a gravity of 1.065.

Featuring all stainless steel fittings including our proprietary bulkhead and Titan False Bottom, this system is designed to last. Steel reinforced and silicone gasketed mounting holes ensure a tight, leak-free hardware fit, and offer easy installation with top of the line brewing performance. Everything you need to mash, sparge and collect wort is included so no additional purchases are necessary. Just provide your boil kettle for a premium, robust brewing system.

The unique geometry of the mash/lauter tun and hot liquor tank makes storing your gear between batches even more convenient. 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.

Includes everything you need to mash and sparge your first All-Grain batch, right out of the box.

All Grain Cooler

Long time 1-gallon batch brewer, both grain and extract. Picked this up to expand to 5-gallon batches. Certainly does the job. Retains heat (or cold) well. Switching between pick up tube and false bottom is easy. Threaded spigot valves allows for barb, quick-connect, or any 1/2 inch thread fitting you want. I understand comments saying to go for a kettle system; raising temp for mash-out cannot be done directly, and there are several changes of water from kettle to cooler tanks in my brew day. It works and I like it, but I understand the concerns.

Only used it once. Blichmann autosparge doesn't fit. If you are going to sell the Blichmann autosparge, send it with a shorter 4" arm and have the tun pre-drilled and fitted with a grommet below the top so the mash can be sparged with the lid on.
Finally, reinforce the area around the spigot you provide. I made a 3/4" thick wood plaque with a 7/8" hole just to stiffen the area. By itself, the area around the spigot hole is too weak and moves back and forth when adjusting the handle on the spigot. I just don't trust its longevity if the plastic of the tun keeps flexing back and forth at the spigot location.

This was a great purchase and arrived exactly when I needed it. There are two sizes and the smaller one nests easily in the large cooler. The valves and temp gauges were high quality and were easy to install without additional material. The coolers maintained temp very well and cleaned up easily. Overall - a great purchase.

My First All Grain System

I’ve been brewing for around 2 years, mostly BIAB, and this is the first fully all grain system I’ve purchased. Overall, I think this is a great starter system. I agree with some other reviews that the false bottom may be too small, I’ve had a stuck mash twice now. Other than that, I think the coolers themselves could have been drilled better; I could’ve had the same quality if I did it myself with coolers from a hardware store. All of the metal equipment is high quality. I’ve done 3 batches on it so far, 1 went well, and the other two I had some problems. Overall it’s a good system but not necessarily worth that much money.

all grain cooler system

I have brewed 2 batches using this all grain cooler system. The first went very well. The second not so well. I think the issue was my fault, I think I milled the grains too fine and they caused the tube to be plugged while sparging. The equipment appears to be working just as advertised. I just need more experience using it.
