Yeah, I don’t use this setup anymore for a variety of reasons. I recently started batch sparging. There was an article in BYO or Zymurgy (can’t remember which) that talked about how a batch sparge is much quicker and you don’t drop efficiency more than a couple of points. It’s true! Much simpler, just as good.

as soon as i seen the picture, i wanted to warn you… that 90 degree street elbow is actually BLACK MALLEABLE. that fitting should be used for you gas line.

i dont know whats in the black fitting but there are tons of impurities compared to stainless steel 304/316.

good luck and cheers!

by the way, nice method of brewing. i might have to try something like that

“galvanized is not, it rusts (although it is used for water lines, so I’m not sure how that works).”

It works by rusting inside and we drink it. I just ripped out about half of the pipe in my house. It’s NASY inside. Totally built up with rust. Stay away from galvanized.
