False bottom hole size
« on: November 27, 2009, 05:27:04 pm »
Hello All,
I am considering fabricating a square false bottom for my mash tun. I have acquired a sheet of perforated 304 stainless with .125" diameter holes. Will these holes be too big for the bottom of the mash tun?

Any input is greatly appreciated.

Humm, this seems rather large actually... Mine, and most you would purchase at a HBS will be 3/32 perforated holes on 5/32 centers...

With this, I still get goobers passing though, and I don't really crush unusually fine.

0.125" = 4/32"
What is the spacing?

The spacing is .1875" (3/16") on center, or .0625" (1/16") between.

Thanks.
