Cooling suggestions for 600 gallons of grain-on mash

[Sterling1840]

We have a 600 gallon mash tun with a heat jacket and a 10 ton cooling tower.  Any suggestions for cooling grain-on mash? We are leaning towards tube in shell system.

Tube in shell works great, if you need additional cooling.

I also like to to have clients mash in "thicker" if their equipment can handle it and then add cool water to help crash down the temp to where you want to pitch at.

We use one every day to cool our mashes. Works as advertised.

Hi!

I mash in with half the water. I mash in under temp, about 120F, then increase heat with high temp enzymes already added. I was mashing in with real hot water but it gets way thicker way faster and I was fighting dough balls that way even with enzymes. Once my starch is converted, I add the second half of the water as cold as I can get it and this drops my temps significantly making it much easier to cool to pitching temps.  This works for me with a 2lbs/1 gallon mash. My grain is ground to flour as I ferment and distill on the grain.
