Hello,
I was thinking about my fermentation setup and would like to do some dry hopping. I use a SS Fusti for fermentation and spund to kegs for finishing. My hope is to be able to dry hop with loose pellets in the primary but do not want any hop particles making their way into the service keg.
So I am thinking of having little SS filter screen made to put over/around the outlet on the inside of my primary. Then I could drop the pellets in from the airlock hole and do a closed transfer. I am envisioning something like a Bazooka screen but protruding inside the fermenter to stop the hops from going out with the wort.
Thoughts?
Do you think the yeast will coat and clog the filter during the course of fermentation?
Which micron size? I was thinking 200 micron. Most of the kettle hop filters are 300 micron but I think this requires a bit finer filtration.
Thanks for your input.
