The 15 1/2" False Bottom with Legs is made of strong 304 Stainless Steel. It is ideal for converting your kettle into a mash-lauter tun.

Lautering and sparging are two critical steps in brewing beer. They involve separating the clear wort from the mash and getting the sugar from the grain bill. This process is normally done separately in a mash tun and lauter tun, but most homebrewers improvise using a combined mash-lauter tun.

One of the most important elements in a mash and lauter tun is the false bottom. This particular accessory allows the clear wort to collect at the bottom of the brew pot before draining through the spigot. Since it looks like a mesh, the grains do not pass through it; thus, you end up getting a clear wort.

This particular false bottom features legs to create a 2 3/4" clearance from the pot's bottom. This clearance allows more liquid to settle at the bottom of the pot for faster drainage. Aside from the legs, it also features a handle making removal and insertion fast and easy. This is necessary to clean the false bottom. Thanks to these features and the solid universal design, it is ideal for many beer kettles.

Worked Well For A While

I bought this in march of 2018 for my OBK 16gal kettle. It worked well for the summer. When winter came, it sat in the garage at around 10Ã‚Â°C with the rest of the brewing stuff. I decided to brew one last time in november (no fan, I don't brew in the winter) and when it got hot it bent like crazy and the solders broke. Result: grain got into the BK and it was a mess. Now can't put it back in the mash kettle because it is bent and has no handle to pull it back. Be wary of temperature changes. If it weren't for that, I would give 5 stars, but I feel like surviving only 8-9 brewing sessions is too little for a false-bottom.

Great For Herms

I use this false bottom in my E-HERMS system together with the 16 Gallon Stainless Steel Welded Graduated Brew Kettle. It works as expected. I can recirculate at full speed, which is about 1.5 gal/minute on my system. I get about 90% mash efficiency.
