I came up with this idea for a MLT setup similar to using a false bottom, but I don't want to spend too much on it, hopefully nothing (SWMBO will get mad if I spend too much on brewing for the moment). So here's what I have in mind. I have two extra aluminum pots that just happen to fit inside one another perfectly. For the inside one I want to drill some holes in the bottom, like a false bottom, then put that one inside the other one and those two in a cooler while I am mashing. When the mash is done, I will lift the pots out, remove the outside one and put the inner pot back in the cooler to drain and start my continuous sparging. May not be the easiest way in the world, but it will get me the efficiency of a false bottom. Can anyone think of any problems with this design? And while we're on the topic of false bottoms, does anyone know anything about false bottom design (i.e. hole size, hole spacing, etc.)? Thanks.
