I'm contemplating converting a spare sanke into a bottom draining ekeggle. I have a ekeggle now with a dip tube and ss mesh filter on it and it works pretty well. Its difficult to keep the SS mesh from sitting up against the 5500W ULWD element though. I was thinking about going with a bottom drain tri clover conversion but was wondering about the dead space the wort will be in until the first valve.
Would there be an issue of this not boiling or is it to small a volume to matter? Also, does anyone have any suggestions on how to mount the ss mesh for a bottom drain so it doesn't plug with pellet hops? I haven't had any issue now but the mesh goes around the dip tube so it has plenty of surface area that can drain through.
