To maximize extraction and minimize harmful oxidation of the mash, an AEGIR mash tun is built with the following features:

Mash Tun 1Grist hydrator with strike water to grist ratio programmable by recipe

Bottom agitator to eliminate the possibility of contamination from above and a low shear blade to reduce oxidation of the mash

Variable speed drive that allows adjustment to optimize agitator speed and minimize the chance of oxidation from this potential source

Direct steam injection the allows rapid, optimum heating rate, minimizes energy input, eliminates possibility of burn-on that can occur with jacket heating

Temperature control system that allows precise, automatic adherence to the brewing diagram for each recipe
