I'm sitting here thinking about false bottoms, and I wonder if anyone has ever thought about using a basket made of mesh instead. The wort would circulate freely, but when you are done boiling, you can lift the basket up out of the wort and carry off all of the extra hops bits and other particulate matter.
So it's sort of like a false bottom, but different. I had thought of trying to make one but SS mesh is a bit pricey at McMaster-Carr.
I think it would work, but my second thoughts are telling me that i'm missing some clearly practical reason why this is stupid...
