I just received my false bottom and wanted to drop the props. It is beautiful. I am thinking of just hanging it on the wall in my living room when I am not using it. If it works as good as it looks ( which I am sure it will), I am gonna have a blast brewing with this.

If you hang it in the living room when not in use...I WANT PICTURES! LOL

Thanks for the shout out and the props. As always, my pleasure! I love building them!

Jaybird,
got one of your custom FB a couple years ago. Sent you the size, got it back, and that sucker fits as tight.. Well, you get the idea. It's like a tank, indestructible. Thanks again. Cheers.

Thanks for the shout out!

Jaybird, I am looking for more flow then my stock 20 Gallon Stout Tanks Mash Tun with bottom outlet. Do you make a false bottom for it? .

Thanks.
 
Just got the notification last night that my two keggle sized FB's are coming in the mail along with a level 2 and level 3 filter stand! :ban:

I'm going to (attempt) a good write up with lots of pictures in a couple weeks as I'm going to do inverted keggles and want to spread the gospel a little bit.

Well thanks a bunch for the order! I think once you get started putting your system together, things are gonna just flow like magic!

Thanks Jay, the Jaybird for my Stout Tanks MT is awesome!

Fits perfect and is a huge improvement over the stock FB. I was having problems with not getting enough flow with upgraded 1/2" 50 ft herms coil. Now, it works perfectly, I get much faster ramp up times and zero temp differential needed between the HLT and the MT. I could not be happier.

There is no comparison between the two FB's. The Jaybird lives up ton and surpasses the hype. First class all the way!!!

PS - Your shipping to Canada is faster then anyone else. Not sure how you do it, but its great!

Ordered a FB for my Cooler on Saturday, can't wait to get it and brew with it. I tired of knocking my manifold off!
 
New false bottom installed. Had to do some modification (my issue not what Jay sent ). Cant wait to brew with it!
 
Forgot the pic.

Yea that was the issue. I didn't realize how out if round it was. Its tough as nails though

I'll be putting up a video this week on the best way to measure and make sure the system is going to fit. I know it wont do you any good at this point but I have to say you got it fit in there like a glove man! Good job!

Cheers

Thinking of manufacturing a false bottom for my cooler. What materials should i use and what should i avoid? Was contemplating using a fiber glass frame with a cotton type sieve
 
Jay,

I was thinking of buying the level 3 filter stand (just the stand at this point) and using it as a hop filter for whole hops in my keggle dip tube. When I get to finishing the conversion of this keg to a mash tun, I'll add the false bottom to it.

Does this sound like a workable plan?

There are MANY people that are using just the level 3 for whole hops with great results. You just don't want to overload it with monster IIPA's and you should be fine.

Cool. I have a Barleywine that's going to take 5 or 6oz of hops, though. Think it can handle it?

Yep for sure! You will want to secure it down with a clamp to the dip tube but Yeah for sure!.. You need an address to send some of that BarleyWine? LOL

If you buy it as a stand alone part make sure to specify the hole diameter in the comments at checkout.


Cheers
Jay
