Hi guys new to posting here, although have been looking at these forums for ages!
My friend and I built a copper manifold like that described in John Palmers book 'How to brew'. I am just a bit concerned that we are not gathering enough sugars from our malt, as we hit all the right temperatures, for the right times etc. The reason I think we are not hitting gathering as much sugar as we should is that the manifold sits about 2 inches above the floor of the esky we are using.
Is it supposed to sit lower than this? If so, any suggestions how to get it to sit lower yet still drain through the tap in the esky?
Look forward to hearing some responses
