Guys,
I've found a stainless steel supplier and am thinking about modifying my current set up to s/steel.
Ideally, what size diameter perforations/separations would be ideal for a hop strainer and also a false bottom for my mash tun?
Cheers
Rick

Re: Hop Strainer & MT False Bottom
I think 2mm dia holes for the mash tun are ideal, no larger, but you could go smaller. You could go a lot smaller for the hop filter so long as there are enough holes, mesh seems to be ideal for this, many people here use a mesh 'hop-stopper'. I will be using one of these when I get round to making a mesh purchase. If you're using hop pellets you will need a finer grade to seperate the hop trub.
What sort of price can you get on perforated stainless? It can be very expensive.

A fine beer may be judged with only one sip, but it's better to be thoroughly sure.

I'm currently using a frying pan splatter guard with tank connector set up but it's too light and floats up on the boil.edit1now wrote:seen this from another thread?
I also got a stainless plate from a camping shop which I'm having a play around with
Thanks guys
