I have polarware 10 gallon brew pot with a stainless steel false bottom. What are the pros and cons of leaving this in during a 90 minute boil. I am mashing in a cooler, so this is just being used as a brew kettle.
 
No issues at all and it will also allow you to better use whole hops in the boil. I buy my hops in bulk as close to harvest as possible, vacu-seal, freeze and plan on using them for at least two years. A lot of hot break stays on the hop bed as you drain out under the false bottom.
OK, one issue. Not much use if you are using pellets...
 
No harm, no foul. There's nothing you can mess up during the boil.
