Boiler Sight Glass

[Hogcrewer]

Thinking about putting a sight glass in my keggle (don't know why I haven't done it sooner). My concern is that the "intake" sight might get plugged with hops. Has anyone ever had a issue with this? If so how did you correct the problem, other than boiling your hops in a bag.

Used both pellet and leaf hops. Never a problem with a clog.

Put some screen over the coupler.

never had a clog problem either....

You do need to clean the sight glass occassionally though as some hop crap can stick...

J used a hex cap that I drilled a bunch of holes in to act as a filter. I did have a time or two where it clogged up some what. I also did this on my MLT.
