My Google-fu has not been strong enough to find if this has been discussed.
My MLT will have a bottom drain, so diptubes are not an issue here. What I'm curious about is if there is a difference in operation between a flat and domed false bottom.
Is a flat false bottom better for fly sparging because it gives a more consistent grain bed depth? Does it not matter?
It would seem without a diptube to hold it down that the domed bottom would want to wander around the kettle, where a flat one should stay in place, but I'm just speculating. Anyone with experience?
Are there any other pros/cons of each design I'm missing?
Thanks,
