I think I need to switch from a false bottom to a SS braid in MLT. The problem is the middle of my 10 gal round Igloo cooler is warping up a little bit, which has caused the false bottom to have difficulty setting down evenly. In my last few batches, grist has gotten underneath the false bottom, and given me major pains in the form of stuck/slow draining.
I think switching to a SS braid would help, especially since I batch sparge anyway. Does anyone have thoughts? Suggestions for what kind of braid, where to get it, how to put it together? I would just buy a made one if the price were decent.
UPDATE: I got in contact with my LHBS guys, and they are pursuing Igloo about potentially replacing the cooler as defective. That would be awesome, but I'm not counting on it...
