Hello all, I did my first PM brew on Sunday (a Fat Tire clone) and came across something that I didn't think about until it was happening. I have a brass bulkhead assembly to 1/2 in. tubing. I remember reading that recirculating/lautering should be done slowly as to not disturb the grain bed, and quietly to prevent hot side aeration. However, in order to get the wort flowing slowly it was just trickling down the tube and not a solid column of liquid.
This is bad right? Should I install a nylon ball valve at the end of the tubing, open up the brass one all the way and use the nylon one to control the flow? Thanks!
