False bottom self build
Posted: Sat Sep 05, 2020 11:11 am
Hi guys,
Iām looking to put a false bottom in my 150L mush barrel to aid draining the wash off the grain after fermentation.
I was going to use a S/S 16ā pot lid that is concave, fit a compression elbow to the center, attach flexi hose off that, run the hose into the back of a ball valve drain off fitted to the side of the barrel. This will also allow me to pump the wash straight into my kettle. I think I will drill loads of 3mm holes all over the lid.............thoughts?
Cheers
Jay
