Has anyone come across a proper WIDE, round mashtun for sale anywhere?


I'm looking to upgrade to all stainless (except for my HLT) when I move to the US and I've found some super nice and high-end mash tuns but they're all either the same depth as width or even deeper than they are wide. 2:1 width to depth is the recommended ratio but I can't find any mashtuns even close to this wide...

I'd even take a crazy freakishly wide mashtun at a 3:1 ratio which brings us into German lautertun territory; I'd have to recirculate/"vorlauf" a bit but I'm ok with that.

This is what I've been eyeing; it's got a great false bottom (can withstand something like 200kg of weight), all sanitary fitting including a sanitary thermowell, and a sanitary fitting up top for HERMS, RIMS, or recirculating/vorlaufen but it's about twice as tall as it is wide which is just asking for really slow runoff.

If I'm going to spend all my fermenter money on this thing I'd really like it to be at least 1.5:1 width to height...
