I made one of these and used it on my last batch.
The difficulty came when I wanted to put the IC in with 10 minutes remaining.
Do you remove the hop strainer, add the IC and then put the hop strainer back in the middle of the IC? It was kind of awkward...
I had used one of these for a few batches, but i quit using it for this exact reason. I just throw the hops into the BK loose now. When it comes time to transfer to the fermentor, I put the 5g paint strainer over the fementor and clip it on with binder clips, then dump the BK into primary. Then all I have to do is pull the paint strainer out and wring out the hops. works great for me.
