Hey,
I'm in the process of designing a copper manifold for my mash/lauter tun. It is a 275 gallon dairy tank with a motorized stirrer. What I'd like to know is what size pipe would be recommended at this volume? I'll be sparging at ~2.8 gal/min. Should I use the same pipe size throughout or should the crossover pipes be smaller and the end pipes larger? Outlet is 1 1/2" and basic layout would look like a square bbq rack w/ 6 crossover pipes perpendicular to the outlet "T"ed into two end pipes parallel to the outlet.
Thanks,
Tim
