    Cut keg top for false bottom?

    SWMBO made it for me. It's about 2 inches larger in diameter than the lid. She put a draw string around the edge so it's a simple matter to put the material down, put the lid on top, pull the draw string tight and tie it off. All I have to do is tuck the string in so it doesn't end up hanging...

    Cut keg top for false bottom?

    For larger gain bills I will use 1 mash paddle to hold it in place while stirring. For smaller grain bills I just stir gently. And since I bottom drain a little shifting side to side doesn't break the seal around the bottom.

    Keggle false bottom diy question

    SWMBO made it about an inch larger than the lid. She then sewed a draw string into the outer edge. So unless the string or fabric fails, it's not going anywhere. I've done 10 batches using this false bottom, the largest used about 45lbs of grains. No problems so far. jeffl

    Cut keg top for false bottom?

    Here's my contribution to the keggle lid as a false bottom. I cut the top off, cut pie shaped wedges and then covered with a bit of mesh made from a delicates wash bag picked up at Target for about 3 bucks. I've made 6 11 gallon batches with out a single stuck sparge.

    Washed Yeast Sanitation

    Your yeast is most likely good to go. To avoid ruining a batch of beer, make a starter. If it smells and tastes good it should make beer just fine.
