what is a bazooka screen please ?
I have tried a rectangular copper manifold with 2 mm slits but as my cooler box has no tap I have to syphon the wort out and sometimes the syphon stops and makes life very difficult.
I will put spent grain and beads in a bucket, fill with water, agitate and collect the grain with a sieve.
thanks all - I loved the gravel recommendation - and still nobody says what a bazooka screen is...
For 40 years I have believed the wort has to be crystal clear before the start of the boil - it would appear now that this is not the case.....

... I brew in a bag exclusively and have never had a slow lauter. You can simply pick the bag up at the end of the mash and let it drain into your cooler and then siphon into your kettle. It takes minutes. I also brew very clear beer. Cloudy wort does not make cloudy beer.
Perfectly clear pilsner, though the glass is frosty so it's a little hard to tell.

My experience as well: cloudy wort, clear beer.
Nice looking beer, but hate the glass - GO DAWGS!
Brew on

My last two biab worts were hazy too. That didn't seem to affect the clarity of the beer though. I kind of question the relationship between hazy wort and hazy beer in general.
Glass beads are good for blasting scale and paint off metals only.
All other glass bead uses are some hippy, mystic mumbo jumbo.

But, at least we made it to that game. I'd rather talk Apple Cup than the 'Bama game.Ha! I'll let that slide only because you guys lost so badly to Alabama that I feel bad... Go Cougs!
