This is for a RIMS system.
I am wondering where is the ideal placement for my pickup tube in my Mash Tun.
I am using a SS false bottom that sits above my coupler and valve.
My original plan was to use a 90deg Street Elbow @ the coupler with a closed nipple ground down enough to keep it barely off the bottom of the tun. (This is what I have been using in my BK and HLT barely any dead loss) My concern is that I will lose efficiency since I will only be sucking from one side.
My other plan is to use a dip-tube under the False bottom that sucks from the center of the tun.
My thought is since I will be recirculating the entire mash everything will be getting mixed up anyways, and I will be fine with the street elbow.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
