Hi,
I do AG brewing and use an esky for mashing. I use a single SS braided hose to get the wort out of the tun.
Although I'm generally happy with my mash losses (for a 20L batch I usually get 26L -> 20L so I lose about 6L) I've noticed that the spent grain is still pretty wet. I was thinking that if I put the hose along one edge of the esky and then tipped it (a bit) on its side I'd be able to drain more wort.
I was thinking of making a little wooden cradle to hold the esky while it's tipped up.
What do people think of this idea?
Cheers,
Chris
