Homemade Hopstopper... Where to get the SS Mesh?

[Anthony_Lopez]

I'm going to build my own hop stopper, but I'm having problems finding the mesh for the project. Anyone want to give me a source? I've tried Mcmaster, Grainger, Ebay- No luck...

Thanks!

Seems there have been some recent threads where people bought mesh from McMaster-Carr. I know I've seen people build these from mesh from either a colander or splatter screen.

Not sure what exactly you have in mind, but you could perhaps check a glass dealer to see if they stock SS screen. You would probably have to double it up, if that doesn't make it too bulky.

None of these will work?

I just use aluminum window screen from Lowe's. Unless you're one of those weirdos who fears the AL.

I used these screens from McMaster Carr - part number: 9317t322 - 12" diameter, 40 mesh, SS. $15 for two. Stitched together with SS wire from McMaster as well. They do let some fine hop particles through, and so I added a clean out because they get stuck inside the hop stopper. I should really show a photo, but am at work, etc. I'll try to remember to take a pic and add tonight.

I got 30x30 screen at mcmaster carr as well. I stripped off wires from the sides for my "thread" so I would not have to order a spool.
