Wedge wire false bottoms are highly favored in the brewing and distillery industry due to their innovative V-shaped welding wire structure.

This design features a flat and smooth surface at the top, effectively deterring grain accumulation during the brewing process. Additionally, the V-wire shape narrows down towards the bottom, gradually widening the openings. This unique configuration facilitates easier liquid passage, thereby accelerating the flow rate.

The automatic cleaning capability, resistance to blockages, high filtration accuracy, and superior flow rates make wedge wire false bottoms the preferred choice for many brewery filter barrels. These false bottoms allow the solid grain components of the mash to serve as a natural filter, separating the wort efficiently. While the slot openings of the false bottom screen technically do not act as filters, they play a crucial role in supporting the grain, which becomes the primary filtering medium. This mechanism ensures effective filtration, holding back the smallest solids while allowing the wort to pass through.

A key aspect of wedge wire false bottoms is their high-quality, tight-tolerance construction. This precision engineering is essential to ensure that the brewing process occurs correctly and uniformly. By preventing bitterness or other compromises in the resulting product—whether it's beer, liquor, or wine—these false bottoms uphold the integrity of the final beverage.

So, what exactly is a wedge wire false bottom?

It is a sieve screen meticulously crafted to separate wort from the solids of the mash.

Particularly in electronic beer brewing systems, where wort extraction is automated, reliable lautering equipment is imperative. Traditionally, the lauter tun or brew kettle false bottom was made of perforated plates.

However, modern advancements have led to the adoption of stainless steel false bottoms, specifically engineered with wedge wire. This material choice not only allows for higher flow rates but also offers anti-clogging and self-cleaning properties.
