Mash and I differ in opinion here.
I believe lengths of tube work just as well.
A length of tube laying flat has the same effect, IMHO.

Sure is.

The thin film of water under the flat boils quicker and then gases. The gas release causes the copper to move or bounce. This movement stops superheating which is the major cause of boilovers.

Is the flat to help stop the boil over mash ?

Why is flat important?

I have about 8 or 9 pieces of copper tube which I cut off a pipe (about 5mm thick). Other than cut them off, I haven't done anything. Seem to have done the job okay!
