I recently made a copper false bottom in a cheap 2.5 gallon round cooler to play around with mashing my specialty grains untill I can get my brew shed built and go all grain.
My question pertains to the inch to inch and a half of space I have underneath the false bottom to clear the valve.
I've noticed most false bottoms have more of a siphon and a very small area under the false bottom. Is this more to maximize the ammount of water contacting the grains?
Are there any other concerns?
I'm not to concerned with efficiency at the moment, altho I think this setup should work quite well. Seeing as how this is based off of steeping the grains and it sits just a couple points shy of 1.100, I should be ok.
