So I just started AG recently and have converted a round 10 gallon cooler (one from home depot) into a mash tun. I have a ss false bottom connected to the spigot. The fb also came with a round filter. I can't seem to find a picture but, if needed, I can take one and post it when I get home. Essentially its a large round sponge.
My question is...where does this go? Above the fb? Is this even needed? I'd rather not use it as it looks like it'll be a pain to clean, but it would probably provide a much cleaner wort if I did use it. Thoughts? Thanks in advance -
ETA: This is essentially the fb I am using:
