It looks like I am going to be a full-throttle BIAB guy from now on. I do step mashes on the stove. I got away with using a Wilser bag and no protection, but I am told I may burn it eventually.
Real false bottoms cost a lot of money, but pressure cooker racks cost about $10, so I'm thinking of getting one of those. I don't need to strain anything.
The only issue is that the flat part of the pot's bottom is about 14.5" wide, and pressure cookers go about 11.5". Has anyone else tried this? I think it ought to work, since the bag's contact with the pot would not be too good out at the edges.
Maybe I could find a sheet of perforated silicone and cut it to size.
