Bazooka Screens & False Bottoms

Bazooka Screens & False Bottoms


False bottoms are a component, usually metal, that creates a filter, allowing you to remove your brewing water from the grains, giving you a clear wort to ferment. This filtering is important, as letting spent grain and grain husks into your boil can cause undesirable flavors. A false bottom can be used in the mash tun for creating your wort, or in the brew kettle to filter trub and hops.

Bazooka screens, or kettle screens, are compact alternatives to false bottoms. Constructed from stainless steel mesh, they affix to the interior of your boiling kettle to filter out hop or grain residues from your wort during the transfer to the fermenter.

You can find a use for either, and possibly both, in your brewing setup. They are also useful for creating infusions, cheese making, and other straining applications. Look them over and find what works best for you!
