Just brewed this as my first AG attempt on Sunday. It was a long beautiful day, managed to get some sunburn on my feet. SWMBO thought it had a nice smell when it was boiling (I'm using all cascade). I followed the original recipe on page 1 but had to use the WYeast american ale #1056 so...

Ok, this is going to be a super noob question but whatever. I see a lot of recipes listed like they must be spit out from some kind of program, but I'm a little confused as to what the times mean by the hop additions. Obviously I know they signify when to add hops, but I don't get if it means...

Yeah I guess I was confused, I didn't realize all of the info on Palmer's stuff was for fly sparging. I don't really understand the science of it. So if the design for batch sparging doesn't matter does it even need a manifold? Or can you just drain from the bulkhead spigot? I've never done...

Thanks, I think your drawing is what Beerguy added to his list of drawings. Hmm, you may be right Homer, at least that's what it sounds like from the wiki https://www.homebrewtalk.com/wiki/index.php/Channeling Oh well, I'm having fun cutting little CPVC pipes up so I might as well make it...

Ok, I might try that just because it looks cool. Do you guys only add the little slits then to the vertical pipes? Or to all of the pipes?

If I go with the vertical lines design should I also make sure there are more vertical lines? So that the distance between pipes = x and the distance from the edge to the wall = x/2? My cooler if I remember correctly is 21 inches long. When I was doing the ladder design from the original picture...

Thanks. I'll swing by the hardware shop tonight and see if they sell X or Cross fittings, I don't remember if they do or not. I ended up buying way more CPVC pipe than I needed so I'm not worried about trying a bunch of different configurations. I was going off of...

I don't think so. The channel that the bulkhead is in is not very long, so if I had to go to the center crosspiece I'd have to probably jog it above the "A" crosspiece and back down to the bulkhead. Otherwise "A" would be resting on the pipe and it wouldn't lay flat. I can do it that way...

So I'm converting my rectangular cooler into a MLT. The cooler is a little different in that the bulkhead is in the middle of the long edge, not the short edge. I tried reading Palmer's stuff on manifold layout and design, but all of the science and flow rate stuff is over my head...
