I would def go for the pipe over the basket as well.
I think it provides better extraction as the liquid has to flow past all of the malt to get "out" at the bottom, as opposed to a basket(or bag for that matter) that allows for wort to escape anywhere along the sides?
For my CaterPride 50L
1. Outer diameter 340mm
2. Top to bottom of basket 340mm
3. standoff/ leg height 60mm
The urn has a total height of 500mm and width of ~355mm. I figured the pipe should be a bit smaller to allow the lid to close as well (hence not specing it at 500mm height)
So, those are some quick measurements for reference... but i'm not sure how much, or little, space is recommended around the pipe as well as if there is some limit in terms of its height.
I get that the higher it is the more malt it will take, but overflow needs to be considered in the event of a slow/stuck circulation?
@BOMB: How do you handle slow circulation or wort build-up? or do you have an overflow mechanism for it?
EDIT: i didn't factor in my diptube height and updated measurements
