Mash Tun Weight Question

Hello,

I tired looking around, but I couldn't find the answer to my question.  I know the "Mash Tun Weight" is the weight of your MLT, but does that include your ball valves, quick disconnects, false bottoms, hoses, etc...?  Also while on the topic of MLT, for the "Mash Tun Volume", I'm assuming this is the exact amount that your MLT can hold?  So even though my MLT is a 15.5 gal budweiser keg that is setup for bottom draining, I should enter 14 gal, since this is the amount of water it can hold without over flowing.

Thanks.

You are right on your last point and the exact volume it can hold.  Also I don't think I've seen anything truly change or matter by changing / estimating the Mash Tun Weight
