Hi to all that are viewing this post. I decided to make a manifold for my mash tun because I wanted something more sturdy than my stainless steel braid that is from a faucet connector. When I did a trial run with the new manifold I was disappointed with the amount of water left on the bottom of the tun. The amount of water was a little over 1qt, when I tested the braid is was under .5qt, any suggestions on what I did wrong with the design of the manifold?
Edit: I just did another test with the manifold, and this time I tilted the mash tun back and forth and got another .5qt, so the end result is manifold left 1qt, braid left .5qt.
