Quick question... does a domed false bottom like this
http://www.angelhomebrew.co.uk/en/acces ... ottom.html
just sit, unattached, on the bottom of the tun? Does it need to fit flush to the sides? The false bottom is 12 inches in diameter, my tun/kettle is just short of 14 inches. Will this work?
Thanks

Re: fitting a domed false bottom
You possibly already have the answers,but yes it just sits unattached,and no it doesn't need to fit tight mine sits in the bottom of a 70l thermo pot and works really well with little dead loss.

That's right just sits on the bottom. There's some information on it here
