Direct fire, hand stirred, step mash in Kettle, insert-able Lautering Cane, fly sparge, siphon power. I'll let you know how it works out!:cross:
Hmmm....reminds me of something.....
It was the first shape that I could make from 1/2" copper tubing that was simple, fed out of the center, yet had a footprint that I thought would give even lauter of the cylindrical grain bed. I'd love to make hoops, maybe next try for the next tun...
What do you think of the process? specifically inserting a lautering manifold/cane into a direct fire mash kettle when ready to lauter? Is that process novel to homebrewing?
I might be a bit confused, but why wouldn't you just have it in the mash tun from the start of the mash? Would save you the effort of getting it through the grain bed all the way to the bottom.
How much 'scorching' do decoctionist experience? thought that was a good thing for some styles...
What is the purpose of the copper manifold cane in the mash tun if you are transferring the mash to a separate lauter tun for the sparge?
I'm no longer having to transfer to a separate lauter tun. Advantage -- Less work and less heat loss.
Did I happen to mention that it worked?
