After several all grain batches without a stuck mash/sparge, I had had a VERY stuck mash.
I was able to save it, but after inspection, it looks like my SS manifold shrunk significantly. See the picture below. New one for comparison.
At first I thought it could be the heavy grain bed that crushed it, but it's an even shrink around. Like the heat shrunk it. I replaced it very easily, but I want to avoid this from happening again. I haven't seen any threads with similar issues. Thoughts?
