Started braid and switched to copper manifold I made. Fun making it, few bucks in spare copper parts. Been great for my setup.

Thank you very much. I'm sure next time I'm gonna try batch sparge.

I am curious... how many and what size holes are on the underside of the copper? Or does it matter?

I have had slow flow/drain issues on my last two batches with my braid. I haven't figured out exactly what I am doing wrong or changed, yet. I have done 12 or so batches without problems. No crush changes. It may be timing of my lifting of the tun on a 2x4 block to drain everything. Any ideas are appreciated...

using a hacksaw, you make slices in bottom side about every 1/4". I switched over 4-years ago now and been happy with my system. drain evenly, never clogs, no stuck sparge, and great efficiency at 85+ (good crush and batch sparge also contributes to this).
