Filtering a German Pilsner... Whole house filter with a 1 micron pleated filter looks like the trick.

New from Blichmann:

Cornical MODULAR KEGGING AND FERMENTING SYSTEM

The next innovation coming off our workstations is a revolutionary NEW PATENT PENDING Cornicaltm MODULAR KEGGING AND FERMENTING SYSTEM. Built with a Corny keg at its core, we've integrated an exchangable bottom to allow you to ferment with our conical bottom, then flip it over, switch to a standard keg bottom, and you're ready to carbonate and dispense! The beauty of this system is the elimination of transferring the beer and also the competitive price! The keg body is Italian made on modern automated machinery - no inferior welds like other imports. The conical bottom is one piece and made right here at home! We'll be in production later this year - check back for updates!!!

The maintenance crew over at church didn't know what to do with these and that they were tired of tripping over them. I told them I would be more then happy to get them out of their way...

Building my new mash tun (Megapot 1.2, 15 gal) I experimented on the best size and shape of pickup tube.

Using a pump:
a 3/8" pickup tube with diagonal cut parallel with the bottom, 1/8" I got the most from the pot, all but 8 oz.
a 1/2" pickup tube with diagonal cut parallel with the bottom, 1/8" I got all but 18 oz. This bigger tube allowed air to be sucked in it up quicker.

When I just let the gravity water drain out into a bucket they both were almost the same @3/4 gal. left
