Sanke Weldless Bottom Drain

I think the splatter screen mesh is a bit too fine but at that price, give it a shot.

I'm planning a 2 vessel electric brewery, and I like the idea of bottom drain keggles for the MLT and the BK. I would like the BK drain to be "filtered" to a finer degree than a FB normally could accomplish on it's own.

I was wondering if placing a splatter screen below a FB in a electric BK would be a practical solution for capturing hot break, and possibly pellet hops.

I've been toying with this idea for a while. I like the idea of a bottom drain for the BK but then you don't get to whirlpool, and pellet hops could cause a big problem. If you use whole hops it wouldn't be too bad but then you have to try and filter out the hot break. If you give that splatter screen a shot please let me know how it works out.

Searching this forum amazes me sometimes. Is there anything someone else hasn't thought of?

I am wanting to use this setup on 2 electric keggles but the one issue I am having seems to be one others have brought up. The standard false bottom openings are to large to filter out the pellet hops and other debris.

I was playing with the idea of attaching a layer of the stainless mesh to a standard false bottom with stainless wire.

Thoughts, improvements, objections.....?

Hop sock to contain hop debris. False bottom works flawlessly as is. That's my experience.

How do you suspend the hop sock. Would it interfere with the coil?

There is a thread on it, I think lil' sparky came up with the idea. Length is adjustable.
