At the heart of every great brew is a perfect mash. Mashing tanks, also known as Mash Tuns, are specially designed vessels used during the mashing phase of
brewing. They provide the ideal environment for enzymatic activity, allowing malted grains and water to mix and convert complex starches into sugars. Techwin limited tanks are constructed from food-grade stainless steel, with automated control systems and custom features to meet the unique demands of modern breweries.
