Braid Length

What is a good length for a keg MT? I previously used 2’, but had drainage issues, so I went back to a false bottom.
Does Denny use a hatchet to cut his? The man must be a Viking! I tried an axe but just creased it. Guess I’ll stick with a cutting disc.

Makes sense, thanks.

Yep!

and I’m no he man…don’t know why you couldn’t cut yours.

Dull axe, extra heavy braid, weak arms. I’m full of excuses. :wink:

I tought this was a post about Denny’s hair at first!

:lol:

Yep, cutting disc in the dremel has been the easiest way I have found to cut it.
