Ok...I've PMed some of you so please forgive the bombardment. I'm brewing tomorrow and during my last brew I managed to break my copper manifold for my mash tun. I've seen several posters that use the stainless steel braid from a washing machine hose. I thought I would go this route since it would be easier. However, Im having the hardest time removing the pipe from underneath the braid. Can anyone who has done this give some help? Like I said, Im brewing tomorrow (Sat 24th)....and my usual "wait till the last minute" strategy is getting ready to bite me in the ass again
