renew,
Most definitely. Figuring it out as you go along must've lead to some really interesting brews. Did you keep a log? I'd love to see some of the better recipes.
I just completed a zapap lauter tun. Next project is to build a spiral sparge arm. I need to work out measurements, but the way I figure it, I need to take enough copper tubing to spiral 4 or 5 times around inside the lauter tun, cap the end of it, and drill a bunch of smallish holes all along the length, then rig a wire doohickie to sit it on top of the lauter tun and hold it in shape. I figure I can set up a three step lautring bench with the sparge water on to siphoned through a copper cane and often replaced vinyl tubing into the sparge arm, thus to the lauter tun, and thence to the brew kettle.
Neat thing about this is that the bottom half of the lauter tun doubles as our bottling bucket. I just need to switch spigots between different uses.
