Are there any disadvantages. I was thinking of using a false bottom and then having it drain out the bottom of the mash tun. Like directly from the bottom not out the side towards the bottom. It will be a recirc system. I was thinking this may work best to avoid any dead space. I hate to see any wasted wort. The drain will drain out the bottom of the brew stand to the pump. Are there any disadvantages to this vs the drain out the side other then you wouldn't be able to mash on a table that doesn't have a hole in it?
