I am about to build a 10 gallon cooler mash tun. I have not bought any of the parts yet, including the cooler.
It just so happens my buddy works at a metal shop and after sending him a picture of a false bottom he says he can easily make one for me.
I have given him the dimension that I took from a supply website: 12" diameter, 3/32" holes on 5/32" centers, with a center hole that is 3/4"...I also said the thickness is irrelevant as long as it is stainless steel and not flimsy...
However, this false bottom would not be domed, perfectly flat cut from a scrap sheet of stainless...
Would these dimensions work? And is a flat false bottom just fine as opposed to domed?
Thanks Much!!
