I made a false bottom with what i though was ss mesh all grand until i done a water test , came back the next day and found my shiny fb was replaced by a red piece of rust !I think i just used norml steel and it corroded very badly :evil: bloody thing i have numerous small cuts in the building stage of it
In the interim , i am think ing of using the following

upside done over the bottom drainer . Anyone see whay this wouldnt work . The strainer dosnt cover the full diameter of the mt but would ye imagine i would extract less effciently , I will put muslin cloth on top for extra clarity also.


Will evntually purchase a proper fb but not enough cents in the money jar at the moment ....
 
Hear ye , lessons learned :( , would you think the extendable strainer would work , i had one from aldi for an age and use it filter out hops i when flowing into the fermenter, i know the one i have is for kitchen use and not biodiesl etc , just used the ebay auction as an example
