Mashing is where grains are mixed with water to convert starches into fermentable sugars, creating the foundation for flavorful beer.  During this process, the mash tun floor supports the grains on one hand and allows the wort to pass smoothly on the other hand.

 

 

 

 

A mash tun floor is ideal for a brewery's mash process. Here's why:

1. Improved Filtering
A mash tun false bottom is designed to filter out solids from the mash, such as grain husks and other debris while allowing the liquid wort to pass through. This helps to achieve a clearer wort, which leads to better beer clarity and reduced chances of off-flavors.
2. Prevents Stuck Mashes
Stuck mashes occur when the grain bed compacts, hindering wort flow.  The wedge wire mash tun screen has more continuous open areas and precise grooves than perforated screens. It ensures more accurate filtering and prevents clogging. 
3. Efficient Sparging
During sparging (rinsing the grains to extract sugars), a mash tun floor ensures an even water distribution over the grain bed. This promotes efficient extraction of sugars from the grains, optimizing the mash efficiency and increasing the yield of fermentable sugars.
4. Ease of Cleaning
The mash tun screens are typically designed for easy removal and cleaning. It is essential for maintaining sanitation standards in a brewery. Regular cleaning helps prevent residue buildup and ensures consistent performance over time.
5. Customization Options
False bottoms come in various designs and materials, allowing brewers to choose options that suit their specific brewing setup and preferences. Some false bottoms may have adjustable legs or slots to control flow rates, providing flexibility in the brewing process.
