How can I make THIS kettle work as a boil kettle without the ability to have dip tube? THis is a great deal on a BK but I don't know how I would filter out my hop material.
You could just place a sanitized filter bag in the fermenter, drain into that, then pull out the filter bag before pitching your yeast. It's basically what I do as I have not yet invested/built a hop stopper or something like that.
