Hi to anybody who is interested
Well I have now done this as an experiment three times and I have found it to work really well for me. Not only does the grain basket retain the hop flowers but because it does this so well the onboard pump can then also be used to pump the wort into the FV which is a huge plus because this means that the S40 boiler system can be placed either on the floor or very close to the floor. I have my system 15cm off the floor on a platform which allows me to be able to reach the thermal cut out should this be required... I have not had to yet but be warned if you have one and the thing cuts out and it is on a surface that does not let you access to the reset you could have problems. I do not think it would work for hop pellets though because they are a good bit finer and I think they would get through the filter holes in the basket .
