It will work, same as when it is hop straining, maybe not as FAST as more pipes would but that is also a good thing. Only thing bothering me is the holes may get stuck up with the malt, I would put a plastic/SS mesh over it (something like a splash guard that has been opened up) to stop it blocking.

I always thought it was holes for hops and slits for grains. :hmm:

Thats why I said put a cover over it to stop the grains getting stuck in the holes. :drink:
