I have a birthday coming up and my swmbo would like to get me something for my brewing hobby that might improve the clarity of my beer. I like to add the hops directly to the boiling wort w/o using the small sacks/bags because I read that this can give better hop utilization during the boil. Problem I have is that even using my auto-siphon I still get plenty of hops pieces floating around in my fermentor. Thus, I wondered if using this screen along with this valve assembly might be what is needed. She enjoys my hobby by consuming much of the beer I brew but would prefer to see "less stuff" floating in it.
Does anyone know how well these things work and if there is a big difference between brass and stainless steel for the valve assembly. This is definitely newbie territory for me.
Thanks...
