I'm jumping in pretty late on this thread but you guys have some great ideas, I like the screen tube that seems to have potential. Here's what I'm thinking I have a false bottom in my kettle but to keep it from cloging you need a filter bed. So my plan is to make a filter bed by attaching S/S scrubbies to it. The scrubbies are cheap enough 2 for $1 at the dollar store. Pro's Con's What do you think?
Hammer One,
I had been using a scrubbie, but not with a false bottom at the same time. Will a false bottom stop some of the pellet hops? I'm thinking a big hop bill will clog a scrubbie based on my experience this weekend with a 9oz of pellet hops.
I'm thinking the best solution for pellet hops is to use something like a 'hop stopper' screen with more surface area, perhaps with some form of internal frame to support it in a cone or pyramid shape.
