I wanted to filter out most of the hops and hot break material on the way out of the boil kettle.
I think this design will work, plus it is easily removable for cleaning. It is mounted by camlock connection, and open on the bottom for easy access!
the photos are self explanatory. But here is the breakdown ...
Ball valve >
kettle wall >
rubber washer >
45 elbow>
Camlock F >
Camlock D >
Home made Stainless Screen & hose clamp contraption >
"HIGH FLOW STREET 90 elbow" with some grooves cut into it.
The screen is silver soldered to the hose clamp.
The gap under the hose clamp can be minimized by rotating the 45 elbow.
It's not perfect, There are some gaps, but a decent first pass perhaps.
