DIY Hopback

Why use the lint trap instead of a boil screen?

I used the lint screen because of time and money. I have since upgraded to a bazooka screen.

How did the bazooka work out? I was planning on using one in mine

Just ordered one and will be doing it "Hoprocket" style and do a bottom inlet with output at the top. Keep the disk where it is and drill super small holes (lots of them). Can use both as a hopback (hops) or a trub filter (rice hulls), depending on beer style.

Edit: I canceled the eBay order and just ordered a HopRocket from MoreBeer.

After looking at fittings, and additional strainer screen for the false bottom and camlocks, it was almost $100. For $25 more I got a good piece of Blich Mann bling!

Alright, I might do this one in the end - here some questions if you have time to go over them. I like the way I can recirculate the liquid thru the hops instead them staying in the

- the flow is from top to bottom ?
- how, using pellets how would you manage to not clog it
- or maybe you are not using pellets and that's why the holes you drilled in ?

I am thinking that I could use rice husks as a filter so it doesn't clog and is easy to clean up.
