The mash tun is the brewing vessel in which grain is heated with water in order to convert the grain's starch to sugar. This process is known as mashing. The grain is then rinsed, or lautered, either in the mash tun or in a separate vessel known as a lauter tun.
In home brewing, the mash tun and lauter tun are generally combined into a single vessel, known as a mash/lauter tun and often created from a converted picnic cooler or keg.
