Does anyone know the volume of wort below the 15" FB? I'm just trying to make calculations of how much grain I can mash with this puppy before I make the plunge.

In my keggle, it came out to about 3 quarts under the false bottom. It's easy enough to measure once you have it installed.

Just ordered mine, can't wait for it to get here. The forum has nothing but good things to say about these FB's. It would be interesting if someone had a comparison between this and the coveted Blichmann False Bottom. I had previously been looking for the Blichmann style FB when I stumbled upon the Jaybird, quality seems good.

I also threw in a RIMS tube, can't wait to put that together as well!

Thanks for the kind words! Your order is processed and will hit the streets on Monday. Have to spend Sunday sucking up to the SWMBO for being gone all week in the shop...

I just want to throw out what a pleasure it was doing business with Jaybird and http://www.norcalbrewingsolutions.com. After buying from another vendor and having it fail while getting ready for my first run on my E-HERMS system, I decided I should have just spent the money on a Jaybird False Bottom in the first place. Well, living in San Diego I inquired about getting overnight so my innaugeral brew day would still happen. Jay and his staff were quick to save me from having to spend $125 on shipping. I am looking forward to receiving it and I will certainly be doing business with them again. Fantastic customer service and overall just a great dude!!!!!! I can't express that enough.

Thanks man! Your package left USPS Priority today and "BEER GODS" willing you will have it tomorrow. But more likely Monday. 1 day brother, 1 day earlier and it would have been in your hands on time for your brew day...
Again our pleasure.

I'll add to the pile of compliments for Jaybird and his crew. The quality of my RIMS tube and 15" FB is fantastic. I've seen many that were not nearly as nice as these. Very well done.

Beyond that, I noticed I had a part missing on the order, which happens, I wasn't too worried about it. Before I could even contact them and see what could be done to fix it, I received a second package a day or two later with a note apologizing for the mistake.

What a fantastic experience! I can't wait to tie up the last few threads to piece this RIMS keggle together now!

 

[snackson]

Wow is all I can say. This is a thing of beauty! Went in the mash tun in a matter of seconds and fit perfectly! Unfortunately I had an SSR bite the dust while auto-tuning. Inaugural brew day with my HERMS is delayed til Thursday now while I wait on a SSR to arrive. Can't wait to use it though!

Very glad I didn't spend the money on the shipping! Thanks again for the save! This project has been 3 years in the making because of being in the Navy and having 2 year old triplets at home. I just keeping running into one problem after another but I am set to brew tomorrow night. Starter is going, Brewhemoth is cleaned up and sanitized, new SSR installed, Mash Tun complete with Jaybird False Bottom and tested the system last night. We are ready to brew tomorrow after I get off duty.

The shipping was super quick, I got it at Monday at 12:40. I'm probably going to order some 1/2" silicone hose and a couple other things here soon. Don't need them yet, but they will make it easier later on.

Thanks again Jay!

For those that are looking for a false bottom, follow the advice of others here and do it right the first time with Jaybird!

OK.. We have discussed this in great detail in the shop. I am BUSY!!! Real BUSY! But I have HUGE HUGE HUGE news to share on April 4th and with that will come a Jaybird False Bottom discount promo. I am not going to give away what the promo is going to be yet but look for it.

Cheers
Jay

 

[njenabnit]

Promo or not, I got my 15 inch keggle false bottom and stand for my bottom drain mash tun....WOW! the quality is fantastic and the fit is absolutely perfect. Excellent work!

I'm normally a DIY guy and have the 12 inch bottom of the keg that I cut out that I was going to drill and turn into a false bottom, but after receiving this unit I'm glad I didn't! Well worth the price.

Jay I am looking at your jaybird false bottom for a 20 gallon Spike Brewing kettle. My MLT would have a 1/2 welded NPT fitting. I planned on mounting a short 90 degree 1/2" dip tube attached to a compression fitting inside. Normally they mount the fitting 1.5" from the bottom of the kettle. I am concerned about clearance issues when adding and removing and installing the false bottom and reattaching the dip tube. Is this an issue? Should I have the fitting mounted higher? Would you recommend hinged or not hinged and what size stand.

Thanks for your time.

Ok check this out... We are changing the way we build the stands and have the entire family of More Beer kettles done and are doing the Spike Brewing kettles next as far as the website goes. I have the sizes for the Spike kettles but I understand from Ben at Spike that they are changing the sizes. So for your kettle I can build a False Bottom system exactly like the More Beer kettles for you without any issues. Check the link and let me know if you have any questions. As far as the hinge goes you will only need a hinge IF you have a really long temp probe in the kettle. But at the store I can get it in and out with a 6" probe in the kettle. The stand in the Spike kettles are 1 3/4" tall to get above the drain and you can use any dip tube you want. Most just use a street 90. You can see that the Ribs or "notch" if you will, will assist in a massive amount of extra filtration and stop any grain that gets by the sides from getting into the dip tube.

I'll do 1 better.. Here is a link to the new redesigned false bottoms for the Spike kettles.

I am going to try and hook up with Ben at Spike brewing tomorrow to make sure the kettles they sold are within spec of the listed sizes. They should be spot on but worth the phone call I think...

Let me know what you think.

Hey Jay. I sent you an email today with a few questions regarding your 15" false bottom. Cheers.

Well, I haven't reported back since my first brew with it, but I am proud to say this thing is badass! I used it in my keggle with 19lbs of grain the other day and it held up well. I love having the filter stand, that adds a second layer of protection. Easy cleanup! I am looking to get one for my boil keggle now.
