So I have a new direct-fire mashtun from an old keggle. I set up a port towards the top to return the wort while recirculating with a pump. My question is, how should I terminate the return? Right now its just has a male camlock screwed into the bulkhead. I was thinking of just running some silicon tubing from the camlock to the water level but I am wondering if this will cause issue with creating a tunnel effect from the water coming out like a hose into the mash.
I was considering a copper ring with holes in the bottom like a fly sparge type thing. But I didn't know if having wort trickling through the air would cause any type of aeration issues and or cool the temp down by having the wort fall a foot through the air.
Anyway, any suggestions and or pictures of how you do it would be very helpful.
Thanks all.
