A mash/lauter tun and method of converting grains to wort. The mash/lauter
tun comprises a container with a double false bottom filter having two
perforated plates disposed parallel with a space therebetween for
receiving filtration media. The container further comprises thermometers
extending to near the center of the tun and a rotating heat exchanger. In
use, mash is loaded into the container and heated via the rotating heat
exchanger by passing hot fluid through the rotating heat exchanger. The
mash is then sparged by increasing pressure in the rotating heat
exchanger above a threshold pressure via closure an outlet valve of the
heat exchanger. The wort then passes through the double false bottom
filter and is subsequently transferred to a brew kettle for boiling.
