Hop stopper Issue

[ndoe22]

I just brewed my first batch using a hop stopper. It was 10 gallons of cream of 3 crops so only 2 oz of pellet hops. The problem is that at around 110 the hop stopper would clog. I use an IM Chiller and recirculate the wort using a march pump and a a recirculating arm. Should I pull the wort from a different spot and only drain thru the hop stopper?

I don't know what a hop stopper is, but I'll give you a bump.

thanks for the bump. The hop stoper is a stainless steel fine mesh screen in the boil kettle that filters the hop material from the fermenter.

Hop stopper + pellets + cold/hot break = major fail
Used it once and moved on to other things.

Only success I ever had with pellets was either a nylon hop bag or a small amount of pellets with more whole leaf hops to help filter them.
