I have been reading posts about people not getting good efficiency. That has also been my case. I'm wondering if my manifold can cause efficiency deficiency.
This is a picture of the manifold before I cut the slits in the bottom. It's in a 52 qt. Coleman Extreme cooler. I have coupled the manifold to the ball valve with stainless steel braid. Not sure if I'm getting some channeling at that area or not. I have never had a stuck sparge so I'm guessing the manifold is working like it is supposed to.
The cuts were made with a hack saw every 1/2" on all the tubing.
The blue tape was just to mark my cuts.
I'm also thinking it could be the way the grains are milled at my brew shop. But if course they say there mill is set up correctly, and they do supply some small breweries in the area so I'm taking there word for it.
Any opinions here?
