10" Stainless Steel Flat False Bottom for keg kettles

A: There are a lot of different DIY ways to set up a false bottom or filter screen in a keg kettle. We have found the design of the Pico false bottom to be the best and have not ran into issue with grain channeling except in the instances the keg itself had dents or other flaws that allow grain to channel under. The edge of the false bottom can be bowed out slightly to make a better contact with the sidewall of the keg to reduce grain channeling if necessary Answer provided by:  Aaron (6/21/2017)

A: We recommend this product for use as a false bottom in a boil kettle, not a mash tun. Our PICO system (Item Number 99-2653) is our recommended keg kettle false bottom for mashing. I understand that you may not have room for the PICO system in an electric system due to the probes/coils, but this item was not intended to be mashed with.
