Will a 9" false bottom for a 10gallon igloo work? I haven't received the 10 gallon cooler yet, but what would be the significance of using this 9" false bottom over a 12"? I'd like to avoid paying the $45-$50 for the false bottom and adaptor.

Anyone have a clue as to where in heck I can find some of these? I've looked all over and have found nothing. I'd love to make a pilsener involving these guys. Thanks for any help.

Thanks that might actually work lol It will be thick as all hell and extraction may not be as amazing, but it just may do the trick.

Can someone please help me with a little problem I have? I am attempting an All-Grain Pilsener with 12.5 lbs. of malt. I used beersmith to calculate how much water I needed for a double infusion, light body mash profile. Here is what beersmith told me I needed: Protein Rest: add...
