Hi,
Just wondering for my herms keggle system, powered by the solar project/little brown pump, what are peoples thoughts on a false bottom compared to manifolds? I've never had the pump set up and on the old gravity fed system I simply took the mash tun copper manifold and hop strainer off the H&G plastic brewery and incorporated them onto the keggle build. I know the plate chiller that was also gravity fed used to block but I think this was due to the hop strainer coming undone off the inside of the tap and the syphon effect stopping too. I just not sure if the current maniflds are upto it and not at testing stage yet I just see quite a few issues with them blocking and wasn;t if just sticking a Y filter would solve any issues too?
Thanks
Andy
