Thanks. Couldn't this be placed after the pump but before the chiller? That was my thought. I can call them and see what they think.

Sorry to revive a fairly old thread but I'm thinking about picking one of these inline filters up. My system is all camlock right now but I'm thinking I could just cut two short hose runs before and after the filter and install camlock fittings to the hoses and keep everything else the same...

What do you guys think of something in line like this? If I'm gonna shell out the cash I'd prefer something like this I think. http://www.brewershardware.com/FILTER1.html

If there is one thing I've learned about this hobby ove the last few years, it's that the things that don't look the prettiest usually work the best.

Ha! Touche....

Great info. Thanks for that. The all stainless one seems to be reasonable. I love the Jaybird stuff but I don't think I can spring another 150 bucks for that kind of setup at the moment. As it is, my buddy and I are about $3000 into our system. If we don't start making beer consistently pretty...

Thanks very much for the information! I'll check that site out for sure!

It's just that my wife left me for a hop spider and I haven't been able to bring myself to use one ever since. In all seriousness, I don't have anything against them. I was just looking for a bottom of the keg solution as I'm not sure how I'd hang the hop basket off of my keggle. I'll take a...

Hi Jay, Thanks for jumping in and helping out. I'll take a look on the website today!

Thank you all for the very informative and helpful replies! Rick

Anyone have any opinions or advice on a good hop blocker that's not a Blichmann for my keggle? I'm looking for something that sits at the bottom of the keg and not something that hangs off of the rim. Thanks in advance. Rick

So apparently not? Haha. OK, does anyone have any experience with hop baskets (spiders?) vs. bottom of the keggle type filters like the one I posted above?

Last week my brew partner and I ran into some serious clog issues in our plate chiller due to trub and hop gunk from the boil kettle. I've already ordered and installed a custom false bottom from Norcal Brewing Solutions and it's awesome so I was debating picking up one of their hop blocker mini...

Thanks for the responses guys. I certainly don't want to ruin the beer so I suppose I'll stick with the racking cane. I wasn't sure if there was a better faster way to move the beer. I have two carboy caps already so i can try the CO2 trick. Thanks again! Rick

Hey guys, I'm sure this has been asked a thousand timex so I apologize. I just want to know how you guys are pumping your beer from your carboys into your kegs. I have a March 809 pump and because the glass carboy doesn't have a valve I'm not sure how to situate my hosing to get a good...
