I've just made this mash tun drainer and it works really well. You need four 90 degree elbows, 1 T and about 4 ft. of straight copper tubing. None of the joints are soldered, they're held together by the slight crimping of the connections in a position about 90 degrees from their final position, when they're rotated into their final position they tighten up like an eccentric cam.
Reason why: easy cleaning!

Very nice. That should do the trick I'd imagine!  :rock:

Looks very similar to the build Hawoh documented on his site. The link is kicking around here somewhere.

Good job :)

hey Duncan I guess no matter how awful a brew we make nothing will ever be as bad as a mouthful of mineral spirits ...in the dark ...on a boat ....in the middle of nowhere.  Did you ever write that book?

I made mine the same way except with CPVC instead of copper. I'm happy with it.

Actually, yeah I did write a book about the first years we spent sailing around the Caribbean. You can get it online. It's called "Never a Dull Moment" It has shed loads of laughs....because we screwed up almost everything in those days....my first idea was that Cape Horn sounded like a neat place :-0
Check out our travel blog, cool photos, some sharks and heavy weather  getjealous.com/svmoose/  and you'll find a link to lulu.com where the book is available.
