deebee said:GL, I have stolen your alfoil on top of the grain bed idea, probably worth mentioning here.
A sheet of alfoil on top of the grain bed with holes punched in it allows recirculating wort to drain through to the grain bed without disturbing the grains in any way. Less recirculating required. Better filtration. Effective with shallower grain beds.

I would suggest keeping all your "wee bit's" out of the mush tin and hot water for thit mitter. Could become uncomfortable and taste funny in the brew depending on cleanliness.

And a non-perforated sheet keeps the mash temp more stable by reducing the air space over the grain
