How to Specify Brewery Lauter Tun False Bottom

  • Slot width: 0.7–0.8 mm keeps husks back while wort runs clear.
  • Open area: 10–12 % for fast, stable run-off.
  • Segments: Pie-shaped segments sized to fit through the manway.

Materials

Standard supply is stainless steel 304, stainless steel 316/316L; the material column in the table and the drawing options show the exact grade for each size. Other alloys and finishes can be quoted to your drawing.

Fitting & Care

  • Install segments level with tight joints so grain does not slip underneath.
  • Clean with CIP from below to clear slots after every brew.

Common Mistakes

  • Choosing too wide a slot, so husks pass and wort turns cloudy.
  • Gaps between segments that let grain fall under the plate.

When Brewery Lauter Tun False Bottom Is Not the Right Choice

Not a mash filter press cloth; high-gravity mash filters use a different technology.
