Parts For a Keggle

Hello,

So I have a 15.5 gallon stainless steel sanke keg. I am looking to convert into a mash tun. The problem is that I am having a really hard time finding the correct false bottom online. It seems like there are no concrete information on which one will fit my keg. My keg has a star bottom which I know is a big factor when buying the correct false bottom, but I still cant find the right one. Does anybody have any information on where to buy the correct one or which one I need to buy? Also, what other parts I will need. I want to go weldless on this one as well.

Thanks!

Can you measure the inside diameter, to help you narrow your search?

The vendors who handle them would know the O.D. of their product.

I know a guy who can help....

Shoot me a PM with a picture of your keg. I have a 100% total "just drill a hole" type of solution that is a a slam dunk for your keg no matter what kind and or size it is.

Cheers
Jay

Be careful dealing with Jaybird...

You're going to like his false bottom for your mash tun so much that you will end up ordering another one (along with a level 3 filter) for your boil kettle in the future.

Can I pry, Jaybird?

Do you / does he, make them over a forming block or a die?

Just sent you a PM with pictures of my keg a little while ago. Hopefully you can find a solution.

Mine are all laser cut, sheered on a press, and TIG welded.

The systems I sell are not formed. Here is a link to the flat bottom kettle false bottom system I build for a flat bottom kettle.

Nice!

I'll send you a pic of a setup that I dreamed up tomorrow.........For personal use........1 Job is enough for me!

First pic: my forming block for the false bottom, made from 3 pieces of .125 aluminum, riveted together, edges beveled to 45 degrees on a table router.
Tongue depressors carpet taped in place to create stiffeners.



Next image: False bottom after forming over forming block. Bottom made from .040 321 stainless.



Last pic: False bottom support, made from .063 stainless, slots cut to interlock and to match the bottom dome of the keggle. Can be dismantled for installation, or "racked " diagonally so it'll fit in the hole, ( tee hee hee....).




Hope the pics work!


Edit: here's a link to the machine I pressed them with :
