Can you post pictures of your setup inside the cooler, I just bought one and the drain is a little higher up than I thought... And I was wondering how much wort ya loose

Stainless braid for your manifold is very interesting... Do you have any issues with it collapsing under the weight of the grain? What kind of flow rate do you get? Your efficiency? I currently have an all chopper tubing manifold but i get preferential flow nearest the bulkhead
Here's mine. I just caniballized the CPVC manifold from my previous mash tun, cut it down and added the center T pickup. I could do better with a couple of 45 elbows to keep the height a bit lower, but as long as the outlet of the drain hose is below the height of the liquid it should drain. Physics says so.
I did a dry (wet?) run today, drained it almost dry with no problems.

Slarkin,
Did you drill a hole on the opposite side?
slarkin712 said:If you mean drill a hole through the front of the cooler to the inside. Yes. There is a ball valve on the outside that hooks up to the manifold exit. Would you like a picture?
My setup with this cooler currently uses a SS braid attached. I was thinking about switching to a CPVC manifold like you have. 2 questions:
1. How easy is it to clean?
2. What does the bottom look like? Did you drill holes or cut slits?
