15 Gallon false bottom and stand

Nicely machined false bottom. The slots let very little through so mash is clear after just a little re-circulation. I bought two of the pots and it's very snug on both and a little tricky to get seated on the other. A little pricey but it will be worth it over the years. I've only brewed one batch, but I think I will need to add an extra gallon of water for my mash to account for the space. I used an old butter knife to pull it out and worked fine. The thermometer was easy to work around when putting it in and taking it out.

I really like this false bottom. I searched high and low for a false bottom with more than 2" stand on it without having to custom order one for a premium price. I needed one more than 2" because it was to hard to drill through the weld near the bottom of my kettle, so I had to raise the outlet slightly. I also like that it comes apart for ease of cleaning and storage. This fits my 15 gallon Megapot perfectly. Haven't had a chance to mash on it yet, but from the fit and finish I'm sure it will be great.
