I built a rectangle cooler mash tun a while ago. Did the toilet hose braid thing. It always seemed to work fine but I am trying to dial in my effeciency. Maybe I am sparging with too much water, maybe I have a lot of dead space I am not accounting for (usually plug in .5 gallon into my calculator), maybe the braid isn't working properly but I have a ton of left over wort left over even after proper sparge water calculation. Is a braid suppose to suck everything up because I feel like I could just take the braid off, put something to filter the outlet, and tilt the mash tun so the wort just run out.
Does anyone else get this feeling with their braids or should I just account for more deadspace?
