how do you instal a false bottom from B3?

Tue Nov 21, 2006 10:57 am

I have a 5 gallon drink cooler mashtun with a B3 weldless spigot on it - after my first all grain batch had a mishap, I bought the steel false bottom from B3 - how do you attach this to the spigot? do you just use 3/8 tubing? won't the grain smash down the tubing? I plan to batch sparge agian with this setup for now...

thanks -

Yes, you use 3/8" tubing. It won't get crushed. There was a BYO article in either last month or the month before about how to install all the components of the cooler mash tun, including the SS false bottom.
