I've been brewing for about a year and a half now and I am looking at moving to all grain brewing (currently doing mini mashes). I have my eye on a friends 10 gallon rubber maid cooler (gotta love soccer families) and I am thinking of putting a false bottom in it. The thing is, I am a little confused about what I see on the websites where I would buy one. Here's a link to one that I am considering;
Does the false bottom have a solid "dish" on the bottom and then the screen on the top - kind of making a clam shell? If that is the case, I assume the orientation I see is how it would go in the cooler/lauter tun. does the pipe fitting shown work to siphon the wert out of the bottom so that you get all of the liquid drained?
