- I would recommend it Review by Matt F

Price Value Quality I have been using this false bottom for over 8 years. I have not had it get loose from the adapter and did not have to modify the tube. I have it attached to a weldless ball valve in a standard American Sanke keg. You do have to make it very tight to keep it from getting loose. I pump directly from the mashtun for a HERMS recirculation and during a fly sparge and have not had a stuck mash with well over 100 batches brewed. I recommend it as a solid false bottom.

- Components do not fit Review by Chris

Price Value Quality I had the same issue as Dok, so he's not missing something. The tube provided with this kit is too long for a standard sanke keg.
Even if it were the right length, it does not sit well in the adapter, which I also purchased from MW. It comes loose very easy, and came loose on me while stirring the mash, exactly as Dok suggested. I didn't even hit it with the paddle, but the grains movement was enough to jar it loose. Talking with the support staff, it sounds like they haven't figured this out either, so I suggest you look for a different solution.(Posted on 9/21/11)
- Great product, works 100% Review by EHedge

Value Quality Price This false bottom works great as is. I did not have to make any modifications and the adapter works just fine with it. I have not had a single grain get past it yet! The only think I would have done different is get the screen from here and a half inch dip tube and fitting from somewhere else as I am using half inch hose.

- Am I missing something? Review by Dok

Price Value Quality I received the false bottom along with the stainless steel adapter. First of all the 3/8's tube does not work with the compression fitting on the adapter. There is nothing securing the 3/8's tube to the false bottom and the adapter. I have a standard sanke and I have to cut the 3/8's tube to make it work because it is too long. I would not dare use this without some serious modifications. It would be easy to knock this loose while stirring your mash. You might as well buy the 11" false bottom.
