For those of you that are using flat top dairy tanks as mash tuns, how much of a pain is it to clean those out? Are you just using a shovel and climbing in once you've gotten what you can reach from the outside?

Clean out
Our mash tun is a dairy tank and its top rim sits a little higher than stomach height. We clean it out with a shovel into trash barrels that we dolly outside for the farmer to pick up. Its a lot of work, but it only take 20 - 30 minutes to clean it out.Bill Walden

Mash tun
I have a 7bbl system and use a 275 gal dairy tank (got for a great price) and use unionjacktools.com one piece shovel under their brewery section. It works great, I shovel it into 1/2 cut barrels on a dolly and then rinse it out at the end into the grant with a nylon bag so very little goes down the drain.
