TrubTrapper anyone?

[okiedog]

@brewtime and @hartlesj,

Any updates on how the trubtrapper performs? I whirlpool after chilling to pitching temps and I can get a nice cone of hops to form but the hot/cold break is so light that it immediately spreads out from the cone. When I siphon into the fermenter, I can watch the break material moving toward the siphon while the hop cone sits pretty well undisturbed. It'd be nice to get more wort into the fermenter without filling it with trub instead. Bottom line is does this thing work as advertised? Any pictures of it in operation?

Thanks in advance,

I have a similar (if not the same) experience.

I almost purchased one today and glad I checked if we had a tread about this. I was on the fence but now think I may pass after reading this article suggested by a member from a different forum.

Interesting read. Perhaps this will help others before deciding to purchase.

The Brulosophy results, are certainly not what I expected.
