Ok so this might get a little long winded so please bare with me. I am planning on building a 2 tier setup for my brew rig using 3 sanke kegs. The top tier will have my HLT and Mash Tun and the bottom tier will have the Boil Kettle. so I know there will be hundreds of people that will have an opinion on why I should or shouldn't do my set up this way but that is not what I am here to ask.
So what am I here to ask you might say? I am curious about false bottoms. For the mash tun I don't plan on using pump to get the wort to the boil kettle I want to use gravity. I have seen where people have used the false bottoms with dip tubes. Now I am no physics major by any means but I know liquid won't flow uphill with out something pushing or pulling it (like a pump). So can you use a false bottom with a dip tube without a pump and if you can how does it work? If not what do you all suggest for a false bottom so I can drain the wort out of this great SS valve I just got in the mail with gravity?
Thank you all for all of your help and advice.
