I just bought a 10-gallon brew pot from Polar Ware with the spigot and stainless false bottom. My intention is to conduct my mash in my cooler as always, and use the new pot for boiling the wort.
I've been using a 7.5-gallon turkey fryer with a siphon.
I'm wondering if many people use the false bottom when using the pot for the boil. Did I waste my money? I'm using hop pellets primarily, and now that I'm reading about it, I'm worried the false bottom will do nothing for filtering hop sludge and cold break from my wort.
If you are using the Polar Ware brew pot, what are you doing to filter this crud from your wort before draining to your fermentor? Dip tube? Stainless braid? Is anyone actually using the false bottom for this?
