OK, so I have been doing all grain for over a year, and want to start doing all ten gallon batches, which are mostly to big to fit into my current 10 gallon Cooler MLT. My cooler has a manifold that works awesome, never a stuck sparge. I have an extra burner laying around, so I figured I would make the step to a SS MLT with a false bottom, or braid, or even a manifold. i guess this would be my question, how are most of you doing it? I am guessing that most with a false bottom will have some scorching when the heat is applied? Do I have to use a pump? (not really what I want to do). Will a manifold work very well in a round SS pot allowing enough stirring to avoid scorching? Same for the braid. I really don't want to ever worry about a stuck sparge. I want it to stay as hands off as possible, with the least amount of moving parts. re: easy!
I thought I could continue the way I am going, mash on heat and then transfer to a different vessel for the lauter.
Any opinions?
