I'm prepping for my first BIAB and I have a question on false bottoms. I bought a stainless steel mesh colander to place upside down in the bottle of the kettle before the bag and grains go in. The only concern is it's 5" tall and I'm afraid that'll take up too much space and only leave about 6" of water above the colander. Is this too small of water space to brew the BIAB? Do I need to find a small solution to keep the bag off the bottom? I see Amazon has pizza crisper trays that would fit, but only lift the bag about 0.75" off the bottom, and they're not stainless, they're a teflon coating. But I would assume that coating is safe to boil in if it's safe to cook with in an oven. What are your thoughts?
