Using a flase bottom in kettle

would anyone out there ust a 9 inch false bottom in a keggle or would it get clogged up to bad with the hops???

Use the biggest you can afford. I wouldn't think that it would clog with hops. Pellet hops just turn into sludge that gets sucked straight through diptube and out. Leaf hops should go into a bag or they would clog anything. I assume a 9 inch would work, but bigger is better

What are you trying to gain with a false bottom in your BK?

Funny, I didn't even catch the boil kettle part. Answered the question without even reading the question

Its gonna depend on the bottom of ur keggle. Is it flush/concave or star shaped/concave? I don't think 9 will be enough for a star shaped to prevent the trub from getting under it

I've considered this for my keggle to help with super hoppy beers. Curious to see what happens.

Thank guys for the advice cheers!!

I would think unless you cover the entire bottom of the kettle, it wouldn't be much more useful than a bazooka screen or similar. Then you'd have a flat surface for stuff to collect on if you do a whirlpool. I prefer leaf hops when I can get them and I would love to have a false bottom in my kettle for that purpose. The bazooka screen I have doesn't always cut it. I often find myself pushing mounds of hops away from the screen to get every last drop out. I always put pellets in bags when I use them. I don't think there is a single solution out there that doesn't clog from pellet hop mess.
