Jaybird's Stainless False Bottoms

[Jaybird]

So... I have got a few PM's in the last day or so asking if I will offer another free shipping sale on the 15" hinged false bottom.

So... This is what I am willing to offer.....(I do listen) Until May 1st or I sell 20, 15" hinged false bottoms "with a handle", what ever comes first.

So here is the deal.... you MUST add a handle to the false bottom and pay with PayPal to get the free shipping. I lowered the price on the handle from $9.99 to $7.99 and it is well worth the $$$$.
PM me for details on how I can set you up on my site for free shipping.
So there you go...Let the countdown begin...
Cheers
Jay

I'll take one ....... Just gotta check a few things on my keggle first. Mainly diptube location so I know where I need the hole. I am guessing center but just want to check before purchasing.

I am guessing I will need 15" hinged for keggle use?

Just let me know when and I will put it together for you . Yep the 15" hinged is the best for the keggle.

I tried to email you but can't. Comes up blank. Looking for a price for 14", with feet and handle. The feet need to be little less than 2". Also how does this style prevent hops from sneaking around the edges and clogging the whole thing? Perhaps a scrubby on the dip tube as well? My valve is very close to the bottom as is my dip tube so even the smallest stuff clog it. I guess I could reconfigure the dip tube but I do love to get the last drop. Please PM me a quote w/ shipping. live Balto Md 21228 Thanks Charlie

I received my two 15" hinged and handled false bottoms and weldless conversions the other day and did the first batch with them! They are amazing! Just like everyone else has been saying.

Jay was awesome to deal with too. He made up a custom order for me and shipped it the way I wanted to Canada even though there wasn't an option on his website.

Thanks!

 

[Jaybird]

Thanks guys for all the positive feed back!
Thanks for all the orders of the 15" hinged false bottoms with handle. We will be offering another Free shipping deal in the months to come.
There is 1 day left for this one, so if you want to save the 9.95 flat rate shipping on my site go PM me for details.
Look @ post 451 in this thread.
Cheers

Question for those who are using the hinged 15" falsebottom in a keggle.

1) Do you need the stand? What type of grain weight capacity does the false bottom have with/without the stand?

2) How necessary is the handle? Does it get in the way of stirring?
Would a wire handle that can fall back down into the hole would work just as well?

 

[devildancer]

I don't have the stand. I've put 30+ pounds of grain on top the FB in my mash tun. I haven't had any issue with the handle.

 

[pickles]

I only brew 10 gallon batches so 30 lb grainbills are the norm and I don't have the stands and have had no deflection. I also don't have the handle but wish I did just to make it's bit easier to remove and to hang up to dry.

1 In a keggle you don't need a stand. The False Bottoms for a mash tun can handle more grain than you can put on it. The stands ar for flat bottom kettles.

2. The handle does make getting it in and out of the kettle a whole lot easier. Get in the way? will you have a diptube? If so, it will not be in the way any more than the diptube. I have several customers in the store who opted not to get the handle then return after a few batches and ask me to weld one on for them.

Word of advice: get the FB from Jay with the handle. You won't regret it.

Couldn't be happier with mine, 200+ gallons of successful brews on my FB from Jay. And no, I'm not being paid to say that.

Tiber_Brew ***Psst.. Your scrilla is in the mail***.:cross:
200+ gallons??? NICE.
Yes most like the handle, I will say. I did lower the price from $9.99 to $7.99. I was able to find a better deal on the material.
So a better deal you guys get.

Another satisfied hinged handled 15" false bottom owner here. There are other options out there, but nowhere else will your money take you this far.

I mashed 10 lbs of wheat malt with 2 lbs of flaked wheat and less than 5 lbs of barley and only a lb of rice hulls. I feel like that sticky mess really pushed the boundaries of this false bottoms lautering capability, but with a slow sparge it still made beer with a higher than expected OG. Prepare to scale back your recipes, I haven't been under any estimated OG since I started brewing on this thing.

 

[mmonacel]

+1 on the handle. Got one with mine and it's very handy (ignore the pun).

Haha, the pun made the sale. Looks like I will be going for the handle option without a stand. Unless I can find a nice way of sealing a 15" hole in the keggle during the mash, I will be getting a 15" folding.

Thanks everyone for the advice.

Received my 15" false bottom and pick up tube this weekend and it all fits and looks great. Can't wait to use it for the first time on Saturday!

 

[Toecutter]

Interested in a FB for my rectangular cooler mash tun to place over the copper manifold thick enough guage to not colapse under the weight of 25 lbs of grain. What guage/thickness perforation hole size and spacing are your false bottoms ?? Might be interested in a custom, if you do that sort of thing .

 

[thunderworm]

Thanks to Jaybird for donating the hinged false bottom for the 2nd place BOS in the HBT BJCP contest! Very well made and heavy duty. He gave me free custom engraving on the handle as part of the prize...

Seemed appropriate, as one of my favorite activities and TV shows.

I'm thinking I could use it either in the mash tun, or in the bottom of my keggle to screen out whole hops. Looks like it would work well either way.

Looks good! Congrats on the win!! I was wondering what the M*A*S*H was all about... Yes I use the 15" in my boil as well as the mash tun! Works killer!!
