Stainless Steel False Bottom With Legs - 17.5"

Stainless Steel 17.5" False Bottom With Legs

Alternative Views:

Lautering and sparging are two critical steps in brewing beer. They involve separating the clear wort from the mash as well as getting the sugar from the grain bill. This process is done in separately in a mash tun and lauter tun but most home brewers improvise by 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 it is drained through the spigot. Since it looks like a mesh, the grains do not pass through it thus you end up getting a clear wort.

False bottoms come in different designs and dimensions. This 17 1/2" false bottom with legs is constructed from a 304 heavy-duty stainless steel making it very durable.

This particular false bottom features legs to create a 2 1/2" clearance from the bottom of the pot. 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 to make it easier to insert and remove the false bottom. This is necessary in order to clean the false bottom.
