For the 10" keg conversion kit, do I need hinges?

Or is the 10" not the best size for a keg mashtun conversion?

Thanks,
Scott

For the mash tun most go with the 15" hinged but the 12",13" and 14" also work well.
you only need to hinge them if the hole in your keg is smaller than false bottom you are ordering.

Another question: If you get a hinged false bottom does it need supports to prevent it from collapsing under grain weight?

I think he said on his site only the abnormally large ones (>18 or something) need a support bracket. These seem to be pretty sturdy, most people here on HBT don't have support and have 0 issues.

 

[scoots]

Wow thanks for the quick reply on Thanksgiving.

Next question
I want to buy the FB with a hole and dip tube. Is there a standard dip tube you use? Is the stand necessary for a mashtun?

Thanks again,
Scott

Hey Jay,
Im looking for the 2 piece false bottom for the full size keggle do you have them for sale and how much

I am starting to offer a stand for the guys that are pounding their mash tuns with 35# + of grain and seeing a little bowing. If you stay around the 27# to 29# of grain there is really no need for a stand. I use the same FB and mash in with 30# all the time without problems.

I was wanting them to stay two piece they look like half circle shape and the straight side has a 90 deg bent lip about 2 inches. You stick the bent lips back to back in bottom of keg cooker bent lip down. Do you have anything like that. Im trying to get cheaper than 60.00 that brew shop has here if possible.

 

[anonymousbrew]

I JUST ORDERED MINE (happy birthday to myself!) I cant wait for this baby to get here!!!

I dont have anything like that...I sure could make it but its going to be more than the $60 at your brew store....

Thanks for the order!

I just received my 12" false bottom and am fully satisfied. It is a much better falsie for the price compared to other options I have purchased.

Thanks Jaybird

Jaybird..

I ordered a 15" FB from you and it's working great in the mash tun! However, now I need something I can use in the BK to filter whole hops. However, I use an immersion chiller and would rather not have it rest on the dip tube. So I was thinking about a 15" false bottom with the hole drilled only 2-3 inches from the side wall which would leave plenty of space for the chiller to rest on the false bottom. Just had a couple questions.

1. What is the main difference between a hop stopper and a false bottom when it comes to using in the BK solely to filter whole hops? Would one be better than the other??

2. One thing I had in mind was getting a hop stopper, but then having the hole for the pickup tube drilled in the side of it rather than going through the top. This way my chiller could just sit on top of it. Would this work?

3. Is the hop halter needed when using pellet hops only? Whole hops won't get through a false bottom, so I'm guessing the hop halter would be unnecessary for whole hops?

Jaybird,

I'm about to order a FB, dip tube and weldless keg kit from you. Any deals for Christmas before I place the order? I may order a Hopstopper as well!

 

[Winters49441]

Looking to have 1/2 couplings welded onto my keggle and wandering if you would give me a quote for a 15" folding FB/w hole with a stainless pick tube that would thread into 1/2" coupling. Much praise from other members so I guess your the man.

Or do you think a 14" or 12" FB would work better?

I wouldn't reproduce without running it through a jaybird false bottom first.

+1 here! Haven't had time to finish up my mash tun build, but all the pieces are ready to go. Hoping to have time in the coming weeks. Thanks again for the call for clarification, quick shipment and stellar fabrication.

Well guys I have to toss out the thanks to you guys! I couldn't do it with out all the killer feed back. I know I am not perfect and we have had a few mix ups, but we always fix the problem and try our best to get it right. I am going to start a new thread here soon about my little home brew store. We are moving into a new location in a month. Loads of space, better location.....but best of all......we have big news to share...
