I use a RIMS tube during mashing.
During the boil, I disassemble, clean and sanitize the tube.
I am considering using the tube itself as a hopback between my pump and plate chiller during chilling. When reassembling after cleaning, I would fill the tube with a bag of hops and replace the element end with a blank triclover cap. If successful, I would buy or build a filter cage to replace the bag.
Any reason this wouldn't work?
