Whole Hops and plate chiller

[MX1]

Any of you BIAB'ers using whole hops?

I want too, but have a plate chiller and need to make sure they do not make it in.
I have a SS Mesh basket, but not sure it is large enough.

So what methods are you guys using

Thinking of a new hop basket nlike this for whole cone hops, or at least moving from 300 to 600 micron

I use a hop spider.

I have only used whole hops once...not sure if the perferated SS holes will be to large and let too much stuff through

I bag all my kettle hops. Only break and fine hop dust that makes it out of the bags go through the pump and plate chiller. I have a coarse filter over the kettle's exit port to catch anything larger than 3/32", like Irish Moss flakes and a stray hop leaf or flower, just in case.
