Sweetwater Distillery Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I am curious what gauge of metal you would use for a 500 gallon mash tun for inner and outer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southernhighlander Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Ours are 6mm inner boiler, 5mm steam jacket and 3mm for the insulation jacket, however 5mm for the inner boiler, 4mm for the steam jacket and 3mm for the insulation jacket will work fine. paul@distillery-equipment.com http://distillery-equipment.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southernhighlander Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Yes,normally a 500 gallon should have thicker walls than the minimum thickness required for a 150 gallon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
