hop stopper mesh or hop stopper for sale

[niginata]

So I am making my own hop stopper and planning on purchasing some mesh (150 thread 304 stainless steel and .0026 diameter) I don't need 10 sqft, probably only need 1 1/2 sqft for a single hop stopper.

So i'm offering either the option to purchase some mesh with me or i'll make you a hop stopper for 45 plus shipping. They'll be very similar to that of The Hop Stopper

www.ihomebrewsolutions.com or http://www.ihomebrewsolutions.com/TheHopStopper.pdf

Anyone interested?

I might be in for some mesh. Are you looking to just sell it at cost to lower your investment?

pretty much, in addition I don't really need 10 sqft of mesh

may be interested.

i'm getting charged about $11 per sqft for the mesh. So as long as I can drop my own cost below 50 I would be willing to order the 10 sqft. So that's that, keep me informed, I'm hopping to make the order in the next few day. Thanks

Why don't you just buy a smaller piece through mcmaster.com?

mcmaster's price is way cheaper than $11 a sq ft, too.

On a side note, I've never used anything like this... do they really work without clogging up if you use pellet hops? I see the pics in the .pdf, but I'm still skeptical.

WOW!! may cause mcmaster.com didn't come up on a google search, haha thanks for the help.

I am very interested in a hop stopper but $11/sq ft. is a rip off.

I would like to get something that works well with pellet hops, however, since I want to get the Therminator & pump setup online for my next brewday.

Well I just ordered everything so I'll keep you guys posted on how my home made hop stopper is gonna work.

While you are constructing it could you take pictures and do a tutorial for us?

Yup that's pretty much how I was planning on doing, probably start this weekend

I am a little concerned about the grad of the mesh, it seems very fine (definitely keeps the pellets out) but I"m wondering if it might be too fine. Guess we'll see.

 

[Bobby_M]

What mesh size did you get? I wouldn't go any smaller than 20x20, and I mean up in number. I've tried 60x40 and it was way too fine.

Bobby, what was the magic screen size you found to work the best,your Youtube video on the stopper build says 30x30, but you hadn't tested it at the time. Anyone else can answer as well. Thanks, Castermmt

 

[bighoss]

Wondering that as well if the 30x30 was small enough to filter out most of the pellet hops? Also instead of sewing the edges shut, would it be possible to solder the edges? Or would it be too brittle?
