I am working on a filtering system for my BK. It will basically be a stepped stainless false bottom. The top layer is a standard false bottom, made from perforated steel. The middle layer is a wire mesh, medium-coarse grade. The bottom layer is fine-medium grade. This will mean that in the boil kettle, as i am draining, the largest particles (whole hops, large additions like cinnamon sticks) will get stopped by the false bottom, the middle layer will stop almost everything else (cold break, pellet and plug hops, spices) and the bottom layer will be a the last line of defense.
I think that by building the false bottom this way, I can keep almost all sediment in the keg with no extra work.
I am just curious how fine I can go with the two mesh layers and if anyone has tried this before.
