I have a friend who just built his cooler MLT and he made a CPVC manifold that has the holes drilled into it. He is getting pretty low efficiencies, like he is having a very hard time hitting 75%. Could it be because of how large the holes that are drilled in the manifold are? They are about maybe a little over 1/8" wide. They are big enough that he uses a strainer when draining the MLT because large pieces of grain husks come through near the beginning of the runnings. I dont really understand the science behind it to explain it to him, but I remember reading somewhere that the size of the holes could affect efficiencies. Can someone explain it to me?
Also, could it possibly be from his LHBS mill? He goes to Grape and Granary in Akron, OH (if anyone's been there). He uses a different store than I do, so i cant rule the crush out.
Any thoughts or input would be greatly appreciated!
