False bottom will be here Wednesday. I plan on brewing something quick and cheap when it gets here.My suggestions:
1. Insulate the MLT
2. Keep liquid level above the top of the grain bed
3. Better manifold design (maybe false bottom will help)
Attenuation

Yeah good plan. I have over a half a sack of Vienna and a 5gal batch won't use much. I was thinking cheaper and using 2-row but I have confidence it will turn out fine. Going to brew tomorrow as soon as that false bottom shows up. I got the day off so I'll prep in morning and knock it out in the afternoon.I say that Vienna beer you sent me!

Fingers crossed!!
Is there an elbow in the center to get under the FB? I just cannot tell from the picture.

What does your return look like?

So I kegged my Vienna beer I made with the new FB. It tasted great going into the keg and attenuated to 76% with us05. Not perfect but better than before. Since it was only a 5 gal batch I could easily monitor the temps in the mash tun at all points. Everywhere except one small spot stayed a constant temp that I had set. I'm sure if I had a better return than a hose it would fix that. Also I need to open the gap on my mill because a lot of particles are getting through. Overall happy with the results.
