I have problem with wort boiling over during the first 20 minutes of the boil. I think the problem is that my run offs are too cloudy in the beginning of the lautering and that too much particles going thorugh or beside the false bottom. The problem with a cloudy run off in the beginning might be a my own short coming as brewer but the other thing with particles going through must be solved with a new false bottom that is tight aganist the side walls and with the right hole diameter. I have seen home made false screens in England and Norway with a false screen of SS 3 mm thick and with holes with diameter of approx. 3 mm. The hole area could not have been more more than 2 %. Now I have slots which are 1*10 mm and the hole area is about 25%. I do infusion mashes with a grain depth of 65 cm.
(Or could it be any reason for boiling over)
Any suggestions?
