False Bottoms for Mash Tun

False bottoms are a crucial component of all-grain brewing equipment as they help separate the wort flow from the grains during the lautering process. This helps prevent clogging your brewing kettle and ensures the best extraction from your grains. We offer a wide range of false bottoms to suit all brewing setups.  Our false bottoms are made from high-quality stainless steel and are designed to last. 

Enhance efficiency and mash tun lautering speed with this false bottom.  Unlike other false bottoms, this slotted false bottom has a flat shape, resulting in an even grain bed depth within the kettle.  Compared to a perforated false bottom, the smaller, longer shape of the gaps in our false bottom means that fewer grain particles will slip through the gaps.

There are two types of false bottoms: wedge wire false bottoms & perforated false bottoms. 

Our product is a wedge wire type.

Wedge Wire False Bottom vs. Perforated False Bottom: 

In the brewing equipment industry, the choice between a wedge wire false bottom and a perforated false bottom hinges on their distinct structural characteristics, each offering unique advantages.

Wedge Wire False Bottom:

1- Compared to a perforated plate, the structure is firm and the compression resistance is strong, making it difficult to deform.

2- A spacious opening area.

3- High flow rate.

4- Stable gap size. The size of the perforated plate hole will change with increased usage time. The V-wire structure eliminates this issue.

5- It's not easy to block, but it's easy to clean.

The advantage of the perforated false bottom is its low price, which is more suitable for home brewing, wedge wire false bottom is commonly used in industrial beer brewing, 

Ultimately, the choice between these two options depends on the specific requirements and conditions of the brewing operation. While the perforated false bottom may be suitable for amateur brewers seeking affordability, industrial breweries opt for the unmatched durability, efficiency, and longevity offered by the wedge wire false bottom.
