Mash Tun

Mash Tun is a brewhouse vessel used for mixing the ground malt with temperature-controlled water. This is called “mashing” and the porridge-like result is called the “mash.” Mashing involves continuous stirring and certain temperature pauses which allows the enzymes in the malt (primarily, α-amylase and β-amylase) to break down the starch in the grain into sugars, typically maltose to create a malty liquid called wort.
