I want to start improving my mash temps and schedules. I am tired of using the algorithms that always get me a couple of degrees over or under during a step infusion. I use a ten gallon rubbermade beverage cooler with a 1" bazooka type mesh line rigged into a circle. I also use an 8 gallon brew kettle.
I am wanting to build a recirculating system for my mash tun. Not a full blown HERMS system brew sculpture, but just a copper manifold and a slow in-line pump. I figure the manifold would sit inside by kettle and the line would attach to the out barb on the MLT.
A couple of questions:
1. I was thinking about 20' 3/8 copper line. is that going to be long enough?
2. What capacity pump should I be looking at?
3. And where should I look for this pump?
4. Do I need a shower head or should I just let pour over the grist?
5. What kind of plastic tubing should I be using?
