I'm preparing to make the move to all-grain soon. My MLT will be a 10 gallon Igloo cooler with a 12 inch SS false bottom. I have heard that some people have had problems with the edge of the FB lifting up during stirring and allowing grain to get under the FB. I have seen where someone is slitting a length of 3/8 inch silicone tubing and putting it around the edge of the FB to make a gasket, and someone else was putting ball bearings around the edge to weigh down the FB. I had another idea - take a length of 1/2 inch (3/4 OD) silicone tubing just long enough to go around the bottom of the cooler (on top of the edge of the FB) and fill the tubing with something to weigh it down, then close off the ends. The weight would hold the FB down during stirring and help to keep grain away from the edge of the FB, and maybe also reduce the amount of dead space at the bottom of the cooler, and maybe even help prevent channeling around the edge of the grain bed. I haven't yet figured out what to fill the tubing with or how to close off the ends, but just wanted to run it by the experts here to see if you think there is any merit to the idea at all? Also would appreciate any ideas for what to use to fill the tubing and how to close off the ends. I have thought of SS ball bearings and marbles for the former and SS hose clamps for the latter - anything better?
