Wedge Wire / Slotted False Bottom | for 500mm diameter Mash Tuns
SKU FB500BO-VWIRE
Improve efficiency and lautering speed with this mash tun false bottom. Unlike other false bottoms, this slotted false bottom has a flat shape, which means there will be 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 mean that fewer grain particles will slip through the gaps.

Why is it called “wedge wire?” The term “wedge wire” means that the top of the false bottom has very thin slits for water to pass through, but the wires narrow (so the space widens) downward, better facilitating flow of the wort.
This slotted false bottom sits on the bottom of the kettle.
Note: This mash tun false bottom is not compatible with side outlet mash tuns - the mash tun drain needs to come off of the bottom of the kettle.
Overall diameter: Approx. 480mm; height: 60mm. With handles for lifting.
