5 Stars Excellent Kit
Finally, an easy to use and inexpensive mash tun. I’ve been all grain brewing for about 5 years now and I’ve used several different mash tuns. This kit is the best I have ever seen and at a great price. Now my mashing is done all at the same temperature and I have had the best beer I’ve ever made.

2 Stars Not worth the cost savings…
I have to say this kit is cheap and very easy to install and use. However, I found two fundamental design flaws that eventually resulted in me tearing it out of my MLT and buying a steel braid. The first problem is the PVC pipes separate very easily; twice I had a pipe fall out, and grain got into the system and clogged everything. I suppose you could find some food-grade adhesive and fix that issue… I also got stuck sparges from the system even when it held together. I suppose you could use some rice hulls to fix that issue….

But at some point, why not spend $30 more and do it right the first time?
