Hi Lael
The plates are only 1mm thick, would have liked thicker but was all I could source, they work ok though as long as you have the support, my mash pipe is not very wide though, so you could run into trouble with a larger diameter pipe.
My max grain bill is around 5.2kg, the bottom plate is 50mm or so off the bottom of the pipe.
Given the small diameter and tall height of my pipe I'm glad I went with the march pump, reckon I would have problems with a smaller capacity pump.
A pic of my second brew attempt, DSGA, two weeks in bottle here, really not sure about it...lol...tastes good but a bit harsh, a lot better than my first attempt but not sure, I'll give it a couple of weeks.
