Brewed a Saison on Sunday. Everything went swimmingly, with the exception of the pump flow. At first it started out fine, but soon the hops started clogging up my bazooka screen and the pump would slow down considerably. I sort of got around this by taking my spoon and scraping it against the bazooka screen, but this was annoying and only somewhat effective. Is there a good solution for this problem?

If you used pellet hops then the chances of a clogged screen are pretty much a forgone conclusion. Leaf hops work much better for filtering.

You'll need either a hop bag(5gal paint strainer) to brew with or a hop stopper.
