help on false bottom

[gyropilot1]

OK I have a 15gal keg cut and with the ss valve. with a thread nipple (female) on the inside. what is a good flase bottom and conection tube. I have not yet drill the side gage. I have 3 1 for the worth, 1 for mash and 1 for turn.

SO I think I only need 1 false bottom right?

Yea one false bottom is good.

you will also need a compression fitting to attach the dip tube to the nipple inside you keg

I got a Jaybird false bottom from Northern California Brewing Solutions Www.norcalbrewingsolutions.com

It's excellent --- 16 gauge ss, 15 inch diameter, hinged with handle.

This is the one I bought.

This is the false bottom we use at BrewSteel

We run a barbed fitting on the inside and a silicone tube down to the center. The grid holds the tube near the bottom.

A little more money but they work excellent!

Another vote for a Jaybird/NorCal false bottom. For a mash tun, get the full size (15") hinged with handle. Since you already have the valve in place, give them the measurements and get a dip tube at the same time.

I'm using one in my keggle mash tun and it's working out extremely well.

Gotta agree with onehoppyguy, this is by far the best false bottom I've seen and used, fits great, works amazingly and is worth every penny.

Yup,

Can you show a pic of how you have the pickup tube installed with the 2 halves off?? Also, what is the height of the stand?

Thanks

[OneHoppyGuy]

The stand height is 56"

 

[gyropilot1]

do you mean 5.6 inches? 56 inches sound too much for laying the split trays

I'm sorry, I read the word 'stand' and I run off chasing squirrels.
From the lowest point in the bottom of the keggle to the top of the stand is 3-3/4"
