Those large mesh bottom kettle filters, such as Hop Stoppers, will probably do a good job too. But they all seem out of stock, or perhaps even discontinued.

Apparently HopStopper manufacturing was a one man operation and the one man retired.

Do bazooka screens just not cut it for pellet hops?

I use a cheapo pond pump from home depot ~15 years ago. It's a "Geoglobal FP300". "300 gph". With my little 25' stainless IC, it's mostly thermal transfer bound. If you have a copper or much longer IC, more flow might help.

Great, thanks much.

Well, pretty cool. Works perfectly, today a trial run for a pilsner brew tomorrow. Many thanks lads.
