Stout MT15TW-RF 15 gal Mash Tun

A well-made direct-fire unit with convenient mash recirculation built in

Test lab notes

This mash tun is designed for a recirculating mash in mind—it’s quick to clean, sanitize, and assemble, with only a handful of stainless-steel parts. The false bottom has a large handle for easy lifting and is domed to avoid scorching grains, but we noticed a bit of play between the edge of the false bottom and the side of the unit, which could allow for grains to slip through if knocked in by an errant mash paddle. A large dial thermometer mounted to the front allows for easy temperature reads if a quick temperature adjustment is needed, and like all Stout gear, it’s polished to a mirror shine. The unit itself is sturdy and well made, and the handles on the unit are thick, to allow for easy transport. The welded sparge arm fitting is fantastic, allowing us to sparge with the lid in place for maximum heat retention. But we would have loved to see a gasket to hold the lid in place without slipping—the fit was a bit loose and detracted from an otherwise well-designed unit. $453 | Stout Tanks and Kettles
