In my opinion, none. If you have to separate hops, like when you have a plate chiller, the best option is containment. Nothing you could install would have enough surface area.

jcaudill said:Sure you could do that but a couple of things:
1) After spinning it making sure to give it a few minutes to rest and settle to the middle.
2) You really need a dip tube because you want to pull wort outside the trub cone. I think without the dip tube you risk too much influence of vacuum on the middle of the pot and breaking that cone apart which defeats the entire purpose. I haven't tested this - this is just my operating theory. The commercial kettles have outlets in the very bottom typically.
But a dip tube is super simple with a weldless fitting.

Where'd you get the tubing? Also, was it hard to bend without kinking?
