Cleaning Dry Hop Filter Before Use

[LJvermonster]

Hi folks!

Just got one of these sweet hop strainers and was wondering how I should clean this before using? Should I boil it? Put in in star San? Thanks in advance!

I cleaned with oxy clean and then dunked it in star san before I dropped it in

I would just soak it in oxyclean or one then rinse it well.

I got one too and now have plenty of TSP after getting a Ss Brewbucket. I'll soak it in that, rinse, and then sanitize with star san.

How long does it need to soak for?

Homemade PBW and spray it with starsan before sticking it in the fermenter.

I suppose you could autoclave them in an oven too.

I'll give it 30 minutes and then wash it with a soft terry cloth

I just received the same one yesterday... I ordered it from china on aliexpress for like $8 and it showed up in 6 days! It appears to be a great value as long as it doesn't rust.

Edit it was actually $11 with shipping but still a good deal IMO.

aliexpress is a much larger global version of amazon based out of china... they did 7 times more business in 2015 at christmas time than ebay and amazon combined... They are the retail division of alibaba whom Ive also used...

www.aliexpress.com.
Ive bought a lot of stuff here like multiple beer taps (my flow control stainless intertaps were $35 with free shipping) before a thread here got noticed and kegking stopped the seller from shipping them to the US. anyway since 90% of all homebrewing equipment seems to be from china you can find most of it there from more direct resellers.

they have the 6x14' stainless hop spiders for $30 shipped too which is a great deal considering I paid $80 for mine...
