Does this screen stop both pellet and whole hops effectivley? Lots of hops? :twisted:
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

As with anything, it depends on your system. The screen does stop both types of hops, but will plug with break material and pellet hops if you are using a pump and recircing.
At Alexander Keith's we follow the recipes first developed by the great brewmaster to the absolute letter. :wtf:

Jaybird on homebrewtalk.com seems to have a good reputation for his custom false bottoms and it looks like he just came out with his own version of a hop stopper. I will be interested to see some reviews from people starting to use this.
