Anyone else with SS Brewtech BME gear have issues with your dryhops getting stuck on the top of the chiller coil? I've got a 7 gallon BME Chronical and since the top of the coil is around 7 gallons, its above the wort/krausen line for most beers. For my final dryhop i use a butterflyvalve/sightglass/co2 plate and do oxygen free dryhopping, however i find that the hops drop down right on top of the chiller coil and get stuck on a krausen/hop raft right on top. After fermentation is done and transffered to keg, i can see puffed pellets just sitting on top. Seems like i'm losing at least 1-2oz to contact.
If i had a way of working with stainless steel, i would think a simple upside down V Shaped plate/hat on top of the coils would easily solve this, but i dont have the ability to create. Has anyone else experienced this problem, and found a solution? If the chilling coils were installed lower in the conical it would have easily solved this problem
