Manifold in Keggle?

[Prodigalx2]

Has anyone had reasonable success using a soldered copper manifold in a Keggle? If so could you post pics or explain how you designed it? Thanks for your help!

Edit: I should probably mention that this will be for my mash tun. Thanks again!

Personally I wouldn't solder it for cleaning purposes, simply dry fit it together. You could drill a hole through the fitting and pipe and tie it together with copper wire (or stainless)if it doesn't stay together, that way it can be disassembled when needed.

That being said, I use a cooler for mash tun.

anyone else use a copper manifold in a keggle that wishes to share their setup? i am interested in seeing some ideas.

I would as well.

no one wants to show off their handy work?

I would have shown mine, but it was neither handy nor worked. I think possibly it's just a better idea to get a false bottom... As much as I hate to admit defeat.

Here's my manifolds - both copied from someone else's work here on the forum. The single is in the kettle:

All the elbows and piping can be had at Lowes, etc. Definitely buy a tube cutter. The slots are just hack blade width.

I'm very happy with the manifold in the mash tun ( I disassemble after each brew and put all the pieces in the dishwasher)

The one in the keggle - well, it leaves a gallon of wort behind so I'm not so happy. I'm pondering whether to work on it somemore or consign the gallon to the Beer Gods as an offering.

Cheers!

Here's mine. I don't use it anymore but it worked well for batch sparging. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/sanke-mlt-stainless-braid-56183/
