I am nearly finished with building my MLT. I asked around on here about the differences between a copper manifold and the S.S. braid method and decided to go with the copper manifold because I want the option to begin with batch sparging but to be able to move to fly sparging without having to upgrade my equipment.
I used a 48 qt. Rubbermaid cooler that we had lying around in the garage and have already soldered my manifold together. The only thing left to do is to cut the grooves in the copper with my dremel tool and to put the final fittings together and to run a final test of the flow from the ball valve as well as checking for water-tightness by filling the cooler up part way with water.
I'll be posting pics sometime today.
