Mash tun with 1/2" cpvc maifold draining

[PatrickStar87]

Hey i built a mash tun using the slotted cpvc method. i gave it a test run with just water and found that at the end of the draining im left with about 2qts of water. Is that typical with these style mash tuns? Will sparging get most of the sugars out regardless?

Thanks
Patrick

Sparging will help, but 2 quarts does seem like a lot. I tilt my cooler to make sure I get all of the sweet nectar....
