OK. I assume this has been discussed here-but I have just finished batch #2 in a 10 gallon rubbermaid mash tun and the efficiency is suffering. I think it's that I have a 9inch false bottom that worked great in the old 5 gallon cooler, but is not the right size for the bigger tun and is not pulling the extract very well. So, I was looking at Northern Brewer's catalog and saw that they have a bigger false bottom and a " bazooka T"(basically a cylindrical screen)that are designed for the 10 gallon rubbermaid coolers. The cost difference is only a couple bucks-not an issue for this purchase. I currently fly sparge and had been getting 70% efficiency-now its down to 60%! (YIKES). I've tried batch sparging and had about the 65%.
So-which one?
Thanks
