Hey guys I'm the the process of building a copper manifold for my mash tun. I've been using one of those stainless braids but I'm looking to use something a little more legitimate. So I built a manifold today split into 4 quadrants but my issue is how to attach it it the ball valve. If I attach it direct it'll be lifted off the floor by 1/2 inch. So I'm planning on running an extra piece of copper from the middle. My question is which method will allow best flow of wort? Option 1 or option 2?
Ps - I'm getting a copper bending tube in the morning to make it fit properly which is why the last piece is not there in either picture.
