I currently have a 5 tube CPVC manifold with slits cut every half inch in the bottom of my rectangular manifold very similar to the one on this site - http://brewing.foustwebdesign.com/mashtun.htm. My problem is that when I stir the tun many times the tubes will come apart and allow grains into the tubes. I dont want to glue them for cleaning purposes. So that being said as far as efficiency, which is better, what I have or a SS braid type manifold. If I switch to SS braid manifold should it be just one length of hose laid down in the middle of the tun or should try to make a manifold type system with the braid? My thoughts are in the attached pics. Any thoughts?
