I have a 9" Stainless Steel False Bottom fits 5+ gallon Rubbermaid coolers. Used to convert coolers or plastic buckets into mash/ lauter tuns. Constructed from 304 stainless steel this false bottom will not float. Dome height is 1/2". Comes with a 3/8" barbed 90° brass elbow hose fitting in the center to draw the wort from beneath the dome. Made from stainless steel with 3/32 perforated holes on 5/32 centers. The barb fitting is 3/8 inch.
This is a great step for an extract brewer to start a 5 gallon all grain system. I used this bottom for over a year and never had a stuck mash, but since I am jumping to a 15gal set-up I won't need this anymore. If you don't already have a 5 gallon cooler mash tun I can help you build the bulkhead needed for the conversion. I even have some of the small pieces you'll need that will come with the false bottom free.
Would like $20 send offers. Trades...would like to avoid so they'd have to be in my favor.
In a 5 gallon Rubbermaid cooler. (Not attached because it's my HLT, but all you have to do is run a 3/8 high temp tube from the false bottle to your bulkhead's barb. I will include the tubing for this attachment free.)

Those can be nice in the kettle for whole hops too.
