I've decided to build my new system using a InfuSsion Mash Tun. It'll be a 2-vessel system similar to the Brew Easy setup (full water volume re-circ/no sparge). My question is should I use the Ss Manifold for re-circulation, or would a auto sparge work better?
My thoughts: I feel the manifold will hold a more evenly spaced re-circ, but I fear that it'll A.) "sink" into the grain bed, and B.) it'll take quite a bit of tinkering to get the re-circ at the perfect rate to ensure the water levels never raise too high and also never to low. This of course has me thinking the autosparge would be better -- it'll be much easier to maintain the proper liquor levels during the re-circulation. Granted the auto sparge doesn't have the even coverage that the manifold would have.
**DISCLAIMER** I haven't used either, so I could be completely wrong (very possible)
