I recently say conversations discussing the use of a 1 1/2 tc sight glass introducing hops into a closed fermenter. I can not find that thread. If anyone has info on that thread please advise.

Good if you don't already have either some, most, or all of the hardware already on hand. I used an extra gas manifold from Spike on the sight glass I already had. I also already had a spare butterfly valve. Of course, this is the 1.5" TC version. IME, the 1.5" version holds enough hop pellets for my dry hopping needs. At least at the current batch sizes I'm doing (10 gallon and less).Brewer's Hardware sells one, if you want all the bits rounded up in one kit for you:

Yes, sorry if my steps seemed abbreviated.@jbschuyler I don't understand how you're using this to prevent hop debris flotilla in your fermentor? Does the whole mesh tube get shot into your fermentor, filled with hops, and sight glass tubes full of positive pressure?
So you open the ball valve, hop-filled mesh tube with a cap drops into your beer, then close the ball valve?

What size ferrule did you weld to that corny lid? I’m about to make one of these.1.5 is hard to drop pellets but it can be done. Like Goldsiggie said, wiggle the handle and you can them to go. Process described above works.
