I'm thinking of upgrading to an electric mash tun using my existing cooler based MLT, but I plan on upgrading to a 10 gal kettle setup in the no-so-distant future. I'd rather not buy parts twice, so does anyone know if I could buy a false bottom that fits both a cooler and a keggle?
Will a kettle false bottom fit a round 10 gal cooler MLT?

A standard keggle FB is 15" in diameter. I don't think a cooler is quite that large. Generally in a cooler you need a support under the FB also or a concave/convex FB as there is not enough taper underneath. At least that's my understanding.
