Got me a 48 qt cube from wally world. Anyone have pics on a manifold and how to build it ( not specifically for a cube)??? And what should I expect for efficiency the first couple batches??? $35 for 50lbs of 2 row a good price??? Also is the corona mill good to start with???..What do I do after I master this??? Whiskey?? LOL

I saw those cubes at WalMart. Good deal at 19.00 or whatever it was. I'd be interesed in the setup too. If you need a Corona Mill, let me know. I have one that was used once and I'd sell it at a steal. It was a gift from the wife, but I already had a Maltmill (she has no idea what I do in the garage)
:rolleyes:

I've got a manifold pic here:

It's just 7 tees, four plugs and some copper pipe. It can be taken apart as some of the joints are not soldered. Check out www.howtobrew.com for more detailed instructions.

I get around 75% efficiency with this system.

You want the easiest way to convert the cooler with the best results, go to:

(oh, and rumor has it that the next edition of the home brewing "bible" Palmer's How To Brew will be advocating batch sparging, as well).

You just have a single braided line going through the middle???..Does it ever get stuck?

I've only used it once so far, but it did not get stuck. The braided line is about a foot long, it goes from one side of the cooler to the other. So far, so good!
