I first used the .2 mm screen. It would clog faster. I switched to the .4 and it is much better. I run it opposite of its suggested direction so I can vent the air out of the round top. I have debated drilling the holes bigger so there is more screen surface area.

I use the brew hardware wort strainer. Works good. Have had some clogging issues where flow slows. Sometimes I would disassemble and clean and be back in business. https://www.brewershardware.com/FILTER1.html?category_id=295 I use it on 10g batches,

The stainless disconnects are right angled https://www.chicompany.net/beer-store/ball-pin-lock-kegs-parts/quick-disconnects/quick-disconnect-s-s-gas-mfl?zenid=5ro2pdje457t5bdlgu1obpr2i4

Hopstopper2 is worth every penny. Much better then my homemade version. Not a single clogging issue.

To be honest, I think the full volume has help. I was using a Herms and feel I was oversparging and letting the ph go too low.

I bet if you used a cfc or shell and tube exchanger and could get the wort up to 180 or above, it could pasteurize it(I know you probably need more time, etc) I have both and a herms system. Maybe I need to try to see how high I can raise the temp and how long it will stay above 180 after it...

I do full volume mash overnight, I lose 10 degrees in 12 hrs. I wrap my ss mash tun we three wraps of reflectix, the cover, wrap with four comforters. This is in a 63 deg basement. My beer has only improved since doing this

Imprint brewery in pa just did a no boil, need to get up there and try it

Found him @kal any plans for a conical dip tube hop stopper 2.0 version

I do the same, but love the stopper design. My version for my keggle has a 5/8 hole and grommet. Bet Kal and the stopper team can make a conical one. Anyone remember kals hbt name so we can tag him?

I use the hopstopper2 in my bk and love it, used a hop taco for years and the 2.0 kills it. Definitely buying the keg version. Wonder if I can install it in my conical pickup tube

Worked for me. I have the first green chuggers and the black ones right after them, maybe the pump head changed

No, oversparging. Herms fly sparge can allow the ph to drop to low in the mash and you extract tannins.

Yes, bk is a keggle, mash tun was a 20 gallon pot. Filled to rim was full volumn mash for 10g batch. Just got a 25 gallon concord and soldered in the fittings, will make for more wiggle room. Since my bk is only 15 gallons, I have to heat mash water up in two batches. Might upgrade to a...

No bag, I have a nice false bottom. Beer taste great, kegging an hazy ipa tonight, similar to a recipe I did in my herms. Looking forward. I think there is less bite, I believe I was over extracting with my herms.

Used mine twice, much better than my ss convulated one. How much faster, hard to say. I made a shelve under my brew stand. Can snap pics if you want

I just moved from doing a 3 vessel Herms for 8years to a full volume mash, 2 vessel. Really like it. Been doing overnight mashed too. I heat my strike water up in my bk, 10 gallons at a time. I add my grain to mt, then fill with the first 10 gallons from the bk. I fill from the bottom on the...

Just did a no sparge overnight mash. Used lots of old comforters and wrapped the mash tuned, only lost 15degs in 12 hrs. My new favorite way. Made the morning a breeze

Ever make it down to the philly area?
