Making A Mash Tun Filter With Braided Hose
In this video addition of Beer Diary... I will show you how to easily make a filter for your mash tun which can be used along with or to replace a false bottom.
Sorry about the video quality here, I think I damaged the camera during the recording. Also, it's best to buffer for half a minute.Also, go here for a related post.

So, how does it work? How doe using this compare to other methods?
I started out brewing all-grain using a false bottom in my mash tun but for the last few years have been using this braided hose. I've found it to be very effective and I only need to circulate a couple of quarts to achieve clarity. I've never had a stuck sparge and the hose has never collapsed as some people fear. The only down side is that you can heat and recirculate the fluid under a false bottom to raise the mash temperature but with this braided hose system it's possible to scorch the mash since it is in direct contact with the bottom of the kettle. Thanks for the comment.
Stir with caution.
