I am getting grain in my run-off during recirculation of my mash. How do I prevent this?

In a recirculation, your grain bed will set up and act as the main filter. The screen is there to support the grain but not act as the final filter. The small gap around the edge of the false bottom and the kettle gets clogged with grain quite quickly. Over the years we have had them made as tight as we can while still allowing easy installation and removal. When customers are manually recirculating their mash, we recommend puttin a fine mesh hop bag on the end of the line to catch any residual grain pieces that are making their way through. If you are looking for crystal clean wort after recirculation, you really want to pump, because a pump moves much more volume through and can pull more of the smaller grain bits through and deposit them on top of the mash faster than you can by hand.
