Thinking this might be how I will get into all grain brewing.
I have been using this pot as my brew kettle

My thought is using the basket that is for boil seafood, but lining it with mesh to make my "bag". The handle will make pulling spent grain out easy. Pot is big enough I think that if needed I could put spacers on bottom of basket to keep it off bottom of pot.
Is this a sound idea? Or is it better just to build a spider to hold a bag and add a false bottom to keep it from scorching.
Thanks,
Mickey
