Blichmann boil screen for pellet hop removal?

[Yambor44]

As posted above, I had 2oz of pellets clog up my Blichmann 20 last weekend. I whirlpool with the pump. After siphoning all the wort out, I found ALL the hops clogging the boilscreen. The bottom of the pot was clean!

My bad. For some reason I quoted the wrong person!

I haven't been able to clog mine yet, with reasonable pellet hop loads (the picture below is 4oz)

Do you use a pump to transfer/cool from the BK?

I use a gravity fed plate chiller

ah, so maybe the lack of cold break helps in the filtering

I use a pump and plate chiller but restrict the flow and mine doesn't clog.

I have been watching for an update as well. Not a peep on their website about it. Perhaps they are struggling a bit with the final build. No small task to get a filter not to clog on a heavy pellet hop load. Add in cold break if you IC and it gets that much harder.
