I'm trying to figure out how to design a tippy dump for my yet to be built Brutus. I need advice on how to solve a few problems:
(1) How do you determine the position of the tippy and the swing angle of the mashtun?
(2) Is it a problem for the mash tun to be higher than (i.e. not sit on) the sculpture?
(3) What do you think of having the tippy dump lock in the dump position to remove the grain (is this necessary?) and how would you do it?
(4) Would a single 'stick' of 2" be enough support for the tippy, or do I need a triangle like B3's design?
(5) Where and how would you attach a grain shute?
Thank you for your advice!
