Stainless Steel Hop Spider

[BRONCOBREW]

Does anyone use a stainless steel hop spider?

Pros?

Cons?

 

[SeeMont]

I made one from a garbage disposal tube but found it to small for whole leaf hops. I now use one made from PVC pipe, not my favorite material but it works well.
Pros: It keeps the leaf hops out of the screens and valves.
Cons: Interferes with wort chiller.
