    false bottom vs ss hop spider in bk

    I almost exclusively use pellet hops. I am thinking if the new FB purchase choke on the break then at least I have a FB for my MT. I may have too much confidence in it but this sounds promising:

    false bottom vs ss hop spider in bk

    Can you describe your FB for me? is it single layer? anything like the nor-cal with level 3 filter by chance? I will hop on here and get at ya when the time comes. and I thought I was lucky with 5 taps lol The bazooka tube in a bk worries me. Ive smashed mine a few times in my MT, and even...

    Great!. Just placed my order with a level 3 filter. I may be able to get away from the non boil zone/reduction in isomerization that the hop spider gives. how much of those 14 oz were leaf?

    false bottom vs ss hop spider in bk

    awesome. Im glad to hear that you see a place for both. I am thinking jump on the FB for the time being. If I weren't buying a new house I could sneak both the purchases past swmbo. we should knock a few back next time I am in Cbus (when the next beerfest is) Id love to see them in action...

    false bottom vs ss hop spider in bk

    I hear ya. I am looking for a "set it and forget it" method. getting more wort out of my kettle, avoiding anything getting stuck, and durability/ease of cleaning/fiddling is what I want to spend my cash on. I really don't want to buy both, but if I were to the FB can always move to my new (when...

    false bottom vs ss hop spider in bk

    I am in a keggle and although I whirlpool with a side pickup I still get quite a ton of hot break in my fermenter and with my ipa's half my fermenter is filled with the two (before it settles) and I don't know if its worth it to wait a day to pitch (sanitization practices permit). Looking at the...

    false bottom vs ss hop spider in bk

    If both were the same price, which would you choose and why. The false bottom doesn't cause temp change. Would it let more pellet dust through unless I went all out on jaybirds level 3 setup? It would help with hot break as well. But the hop spider is lighter and I would assume easier to clean...

    New way to control Pellet Hop gunk!

    I did read the entire thread and seeing the last few pictures I am afraid of going too big. I want a centered 8" 300 mesh for my keggle but am thinking to go 6" only in hopes of having more of a boil going on bigger is better for clogging, I am convinced the screen will drain in place as I drain...

    Drilling out the Gas In Post on a Firestone Keg

    I will add that my coworker snapped off a drill bit in his corny. so if your applying pressure, do so carefully. a Drill press would be gread vs a hand drill.

    How to get the best hop aroma from flameout additions?

    I did a FWH, 15, 5,0 and chilled below 170 and threw another 2 oz in my 10g batch. Needless to say everyone floated my keg within 20 days of kegging. To add in comp. my feed back was the hops were not pronounced enough. 40 IBU calculated for a pale. I will add that of 4 entries, 2 got some...

    Barley crusher knurl with pitting

    after a lot of back and forth, Since it is not technically "broken" he will not pay return shipping because I am unhappy with the knurl as long as it still works. I could however pay to ship it back and maybe get one with good knurl. MAYBE.

    Add fitting to Chillus Convolutus

    I did not cut the ends off if I remember correctly. I had some spare copper from my kegorator/ferm chamber project and threw it up on a lathe at work. Im going to miss having access to a machine shop 24/7. Leaving the job at bad timing, right as I am beginning my eherms electric brewery setup...
