Once you attach a hose to the mash tun, you have in essense a movable hole. Just keep the end
of the hose lower than the bottom of your mashtun.

Posted in thread: MLT manifold build question - 1/2" vs. 5/8" on 05-13-2010 at 07:13 PM
5/8" tubing should be the same size as 1/2" copper pipe. You can use 1/2" fittings.

Just do not over water them if you plant them in a pot. Drowning them is the number 1 way yo
kill them.
