I used a light shade once (as a false bottom) now I just use the old toilet hose - it's way better for my system.

If it's for a false bottom, then the ss braided toilet hose is my weapon of choice too...

And you'll probably find it a lot cheaper to buy two or three of them, then if you were to find ss screen.

Yup, SS braid for me.

Was using false bottom, no dramas unless I was plate chilling, just prefer the braid.

FWIW, a while back I bought over a keg -> mashtun kit from morebeer. False bottom, SS pickup tube and SS valve, the whole lot (excluding shipping) worked out the same price as just buying a SS ballvalve locally.

Hey, could be less hassle to get one of these send out from Oz: http://www.craftbrewer.com.au/shop/details.asp?PID=926

May be a little more than you wanted to pay, but aren't you a rich American?- surely you have a few green backs lying around collecting dust :)

Found it! $50/ sq. meter for #20 304 ss mesh at Tube and Steel Stainless in Hamilton. Large wholesalers that don't mind selling to the little guy.

huh? 304 SS screen for $50 NZ sounds much better than 120 pounds for a sq. meter....
