most definitely in for this one

There's been plenty if talk about the inefficiencies of a bazooka screen when not batch sparging. If the wort is only being drawn out from a certain spot (and not the whole width of the tun like a FB) it causes central channeling and poor efficiency. This is not a big deal when batch sparging...

Once fermentation is complete, if you can run the dump valve until it's just beer coming out, you should be fine to push to a keg after that. Another reason for a racking arm is that it is higher up on the conical and that doesn't require as high of a stand to get the gravity fill into a keg. If...

You normally only dump the first part of the yeast. You need some in there to finish fermentation and the racking arm keeps you from sucking that up

Count me in!

Hey now, watch your mouth. Kidding aside, excellent project and glad to see the shelves finally fill up

Maybe try moving this to the classifieds section

I should have figured that out, as there's no HLT pump from. Disregard my lapse of thought and keep on designing! Time for a beer so I can think straight.

This is really a slick setup. Couple of questions if you don't mind. I only see the one pump, so you gravity feed the BK while pumping your instant sparge water to MLT? Or are you batch sparging?

A 19% ABV FART at that

Hope you're planning on only batch sparging. Its been proven that braids are very ineffective at fly sparging due to only pulling wort from near the braid and exit

Yes it sure does

It's not a ball lock post, its just called a QD post adapter. If you look closely, you'll see threads and no poppet. Its just getting you from the MFL post to the size of the pin lock

That would work as well. I have pin locks as well but am considering swapping the connections to ball locks for convenience

here you go... SANKE conversion from Corny Keg Guess you would need to then swap the ball lock posts for pin lock posts on that.
