I saw a bunch of threads about using a paint strainer bag in the boil to help filter out hop trub and thought that was a cool idea. I'm using a 10 Gallon Rubbermaid cooler with a false bottom for mashing and was wondering if it made sense to apply the same idea there.
The first benefit would be that it would help to filter out some of the gunk that comes through the false bottom. I have a HERMS rig and the more particles I keep away from the pumps, the better.
Second benefit would be cleanup. Rather than having to scoop all of the spent grains out, I could just lift out the bag.
I guess the only potential problem is an increased risk of a stuck sparge.
Has anyone tried this?
