Hi everyone!

Just a quick question that probably seems so simple and so obvious but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere.

I'm upgrading my equipment and have been looking into false bottoms. What size does the false bottom have to be? I would think it would have to be the same size as the container but perhaps not seeing there's a pile of different stuff out there for mashes.

The inside of my pot is about 13.75 inches. What size would you recommend? I can get a 12 inch for a pretty decent price. Should I use a different container as a mash tun that will fit a 10 or 12 inch bottom or would the 12 be adequate in my current pot?

Thanks for all the help!
