HLT conversion
I have a 32Q boil pot that I want to place a ball valve and thermometer in. If I use a false bottom, whats the recommendation for attaching the elbow to the ball spigot? Can you run a small section of food grade tubing or would a section of copper tubing work better?
HTL setup
Jawbox,
I have a couple questions on your HLT setup:
1. How did you modify the braided hose to drain? I assume you punctured it a lot, with what though?
2. Is this a SS braided hose? Something I'd find at the local Home Depot plumbing area?
3. What diameter and length?
4. Drilling - any tips on doing this? Best practice type stuff?
I'm seriously considering this as an option for in the near future but I hesitate from time to time 'cause I don't want to destroy my kettle. Any advice/direction is greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

Shaggy,
My response was to dons question regarding attaching his false bottom to the ball valve in a mash tun.
From the elbow/hose barb on the false bottom I attach a short length of braided hose, then I use a another hose barb to connect to my bulkhead fitting.
I'm not actually using a braided hose with holes in it, if that's what you're thinking.
