    All -
    I'm using those round Rubbermaid 10 gallon coolers for my AG set up. Wondering what you all liked for a false bottom in yours? Anything by anyone particularly stand out as being better than the rest?

    If batch sparging, braided hose is great.

    I made my first false bottom using slotted copper pipe. Worked pretty well as a batch sparge set-up, used it for about 10 years before shifting to an electric brew in the bag system.

    I'm a big bazooka tube fan. Have it on a 10 gallon Home Depot cooler and one on a 100qt Coleman extreme. Simple, it works, and cheap.

    Thanks for the link - that's a good price on the Rubbermaid set up.

    your welcome! I didn't purchase those exact ones because they came with my cooler set I bought, but they look identical to those and they work great!
