In case anyone is wondering how the JB false bottom + level 3 filter works as a hop back, here's a picture. That's 7oz. of hops. No affiliation, just passing along some info.

Did you end up brewing this? Looks like a good recipe to me! This weekend I am brewing the Evil Twin recipe from the Mr. Malty site except I'm using a slurry of WLP833. Can't wait!
