I’m nowhere close to buy them but it looks like those are concord kettles and I was wondering how you liked the mash tun false bottom on those. I have a 20 gallon concord for a BK but was contemplating one for a mash tun as well.

Looks like a great set-up. Good luck with the sale.

Thanks.

The false bottoms worked fine but I had to make a riser to hold the center up under the weight of grain. It will easily collapse otherwise. These are the Concord false bottoms, others might be more sturdy.

Honestly, things got a lot easier when I switched to a big grain bag (voile polyester curtain panel sewn into a sack, $3 from Walmart). Better yet, get one of the good ones made by some of the folks around here. I'm DIY to a fault but wilser and the Brew Bag have great reputations. I'd opt for the teardrop shape myself.

Thanks for the feedback. Cheers.
