any update on the coffee test? Also, will these sink when loaded with 8oz of hops or do we need to add weights?

YES Mellman. The coffee test was a TOTAL success! Loads less fines in the bottom of the big container we use for cold press... We only used 2 cups of coffee but we easily could have added 4 cups of coffee to this hop filter basket. Now keep in mind we SUPER FINE grinding the coffee. There are fines that do get through don't get me wrong. But it was about 1/2 as much as there are when we were using the nylon steeping bag. when you do this Add coffee to the basket, put the basket in your vessel and THEN add the water over the top. Or your coffee will float in the basket and it will take forever for the water to get to all the coffee.

No you wont need to add weights to this at all.

Cheers

ordered 2. Chose in store pickup as adding a few 3 piece airlocks I lost free shipping option. Sounds like these aren't drop shipping so this should be ok?
Looking forward to keg hopping under nice CO2 environment.

Its all good! We already shipped out your airlocks :)

Cheers

This is terrible news... /s:rockin:

Thanks Jay, preorder incoming.
 
Sorry, Jaybird. Forgot my username in the comments section (reading is hard) when I ordered one yesterday. Order number is 11944. thank you!
 
Any reason this wouldn't also work as a hop spider in the boil kettle? I think I would use it more often for that over dry hopping.
 
Is it too late to add a second one to my pre-order? I'll send it in.
Edit: #11989
 
I just got shipping conformation that my packages are in route! I suspect they should start showing up here in 6-8 days.

Thanks for all the orders so far you guys. I will update this thread once they start shipping out to you guys.

Could you hurry up? I have an IPA to keg within the next day or two:D
 
My friend is also interested, but he only has a Sanke keg. Will this fit in that small opening as well? (What is the diameter of this?)
