I'm starting to build a mostly automated HERMS system and wanted to get some feedback on drain size and location in the Keegles. I'm using 2 center inlet Chugger pumps that are 3/4" inlet and 1/2" outlet. I want to put each vessel on legs with rollers and weld 3/4" half couplings into the bottom of the pots and mount pump on the bases below the BK and HLT. Has anybody tried this before? I have done a lot of searching and found nothing on 3/4 outlets most seem to use 1/2" in the side and use a dip tube. If it matters I plan to use a hop spider to clear the wort entering the kettle and during cooling circulation.
Cheers,
David
