Stuck sparges no more!

January 21st, 2008

I’ve been having some problems fine tuning my all grain system.  My efficiency was suffering, so we increased the crush on my barley crusher.  This was great for the efficiency, but caused a host of other problems. The false bottom on my mash tun definitely did not like the finer crush and even with recirculation the vorlauf became long and difficult.   So this weekend I created a manifold for the mash tun using stainless steel braid. I’m not sure if I will use this with or without the false bottom but I think it should solve the problems created by the finer crush.Mash Tun Manifold
