So I just picked up this Keggle with false bottom today and the false bottom is quite small and I fear the design would encourage channeling. I currently have 3 kegs cut ready for welds but this was way to good o a deal to pass up. So should I grab something like this instead to have evenish...

So I brewed this saison today and was originality intended to be clean but after I tasted one of my Belgians that had been sitting in a 5 gallon 3rd use whiskey barrel for a couple of months I knew it was time to bottle, then I decided with the barrel having basically lost all of its whiskey...

So bells has a home brew comp where they supply you with 5 gallons of Michigan two row wort with an OG of 1.052 unhopped. So you can then do what you wish. My question is can I then use this wort to mash to obtain a higher gravity + use some specialties, I don't see why not really, just...
