My last build was the final one, so this must be a sequel I'm well on the way to my own film franchise "The Build Awakens!"
It's a 2V Breweasy type with a GF constant head system in place of the ball cock tap, I'm using a 27 litre Burco water boiler as the mash tun/malt pipe and I will need to fit a top and bottom screen into it similar to those fitted in a GF malt pipe.
The difficulty is that the Burco is not perfectly round it's 3mm wider across one way than it is measured at the minimum value, nor am I convinced that the shape is constant top to bottom.
I think I need to make the screen just a bit under size and use some sort of flexible seal to adjust to the variations in diameter fortunately it's not pressurized like a BM so it should be easier to seal.
Any ideas about the best way to make the seal would be greatly appreciated.!!!
I've thought of some; all more complex than the last, webbing tape, casting silicone, bristles, a silicone rubber fringe etc.
Would a length of silicone tube split up it's length and put over the edge of the round screen work?
I'd appreciate your thoughts.
Could I dispense with the bottom screen and use a braided SS tube/Bazooker screen?
Thanks All. aamcle
