In the K40 kettle
- Mash position: the top of the pipe sits 747.6 mm above the floor.
- Drain position: the pipe hangs on the kettle rim with its bottom at the 40 L line, so the wort drains back while you sparge. Its top then sits 1086.9 mm above the floor.
- 7.6 L sits below the malt pipe. It is part of your strike water but sits under the grain bed — count it when you set mash thickness.
- At full grain the malt pipe weighs more than 25 kg even after draining. To lift it fully out, plan at least 1.17 m to the top of the pipe (rim + pipe height) plus room for your hands or hoist. Use heat-resistant gloves; a pulley makes it easier.
- The K40 kettle lid sits on the top ring of the malt pipe.
