I believe that I will be doing that as part of my next project. I will document the process and post in a new thread.

What length SS tubing you using there? Simple and effective, seems like something I need to consider.

I believe it is a 36" braid, it doesn't need to be that long but I had it laying around and it works well.

If that's your idea of "pretty standard," I'd love to see your idea of "deluxe!"

Not the tun i'm currently using, but i always liked the spartan, simple, and funtional concept. Worked very well for batch sparging. No valve required, up is off, down is on.
Basic tun, really. Temp control is via coil/heat exchanger in HLT, its a 9 gal. SS pot with bubble/foil insulation on sides and bottom. Hard-plumbed into the system. Grain resides on a false-bottom. Works like a charm -I only wish it were larger (and I'll get around to addressing that sometime late this summer)

The Wheelie Cool doesn't have a spigot built in. Im assuming you drilled your own hole. Did you have any difficulties with that?

I like this design a lot. How did you cut the SS Braid so cleanly? I can't get mine from being a frayed mess.

Recently replaced the grommet in my mash tun, figured I'd pick up a couple street elbows and a T to spice it up a bit.
Manifold and Tun -- used a gate valve because it it what I had. Comes apart easy, controls the flow very well.

Just finished this up and used it for the first time. Daddy's little brewers were at least as excited as me, I couldn't get them to quit fondling it. 48 quart with a loose copper manifold.
A friend gave me this 5 gal with a Phils Phalse bottom. He made over 300 batches in it and I've made around 100. Largest grainbill so far 13# 13oz.
150qt.
Here's mine. I just put my 3rd braid replacement in - this time over a ss spring to prevent braid collapse. The upper "sparge arm" sags a little so I use bread wrappers to anchor it so that the sparge drips evenly.
