I batch sparge in a round 5 gal cooler with a stainless steel mash braid I bought from bargainfittings.com. The braid is too long to lay straight by 2-3 inches. I try to push the end of it down so that it curves around the inside wall but it always seems to straighten out and curve up.
Should I clip the end so it can lay flat and straight or just leave it? The wort seems to channel to the end that's sticking up. I know channeling isn't supposed to be a concern with batch sparging, but I still wonder...
