This particular false bottom features a dome design so that the liquid can be drawn from all sides. To make it easier to draw the liquid, it also comes with a stainless steel elbow hose fitting at the center. Made from 304 stainless steel construction, the false bottom is heavy and durable enough to stay in place at the bottom without it floating on top so the liquid wort is effectively separated from the grain bills. This makes cleanup convenient because the false bottom can easily be removed without the use of tools.False bottoms are used to separate the grains from the wort. They are often installed at the bottom of the lauter tun to allow the wort to drain while leaving the grain behind. The basic construction of a false bottom is that it features a lot of tiny holes that are punched or drilled through a stainless steel screen. During the sparging process, the clear liquid wort passes through the false bottom, leaving behind the grain. This makes it easier for home brewers to collect the wort after the boiling process.Specifications: Made out of 304 Stainless Steel Can fit in a 5-gallon cooler Removable for easy cleanup Can work with any brew pot that whose diameter is larger than 9 inches The false bottom has a dome design to draw the liquid from all sides 3/8" OD Barbed Hardware 9" Diameter 1/2" Height False Bottom Compatibility Chart
