If I could find a way to hook a manifold to those plastic spigots that would be sweet. The ball valve I used is a little overkill but you have standard threads to work with.
@RetroMick In all honesty, I am not sure. I made it the day I filmed it because I had enough grains to do a mini mash so It hasn't been completely tested as of yet. I will get back to you soon as I am going to my brew store to purchase some iodine testing supplies and to get some more info on testing efficiency rates. Cheers.
Very very cool! So using a biab bag as a filter for genuine mashing and pulling out the spent grains for easy cleanup. I like this idea very much. Hey, did you check out 78recordrepair's video where he figured how how to use the original spigot and automate it, with a nut and elastic? Love all these great ideas abounding now! We're all going outside the darned box! Cheers!!
loving the music mate!! CHEERS!!!

Since you have the nylon bag... why not just mash it on the stove-top in a stainless kettle?

@mixedbrewing I feel like I get better filtration using a drain spout and better use of the grain during mash and sparge.

That spigot is perfect, I love it.

@yartp Hey PT, I think I may have figured out the manifold/spigot hook up problem. I will get back to you on it soon.

@RetroMick I finally figured out the equations to use and I will take the proper measurements on the next mini mash I do. I'll let you know.
