Hopstopper screen
Hey, somebody has the roll of SS mesh we were passing around for making hopstoppers. Some new individuals are interested in making their own. Just need to find out where the potato stopped rolling.

Re: Hopstopper screen
I'd love to get a piece of this as well if your able to track it down. Remembering the headache from my last brew when my drain clogged up may have finally motivated me to set up a proper filter system.

Re: Hopstopper screen
I've still got it. I'd promised it to John C next, but I think there's still lots to go around.

Re: Hopstopper screen
That's cool, keep it moving and don't be shy about using it. There's lots more.

Re: Hopstopper screen
Here's a pic with the top on. The top gets held down tight to the main ring in the keggle by a 1/2" ss nipple through the hole in the middle.

Re: Hopstopper screen
Yes I do. Would you like a piece? What dimensions? Do you need it rolled (it's pretty stiff)?

Re: Hopstopper screen
think I'm going to take a crack at making a hop hopper (ba-dum-dum-chhhh) similar to the hop rocket... so a piece (and some screen) would be very much appreciated. No need to have it rolled.
I've gotta work up some drawings first... so I'll get back to you (sometime next week)

Re: Hopstopper screen
Very Good. I might be able to come up with a couple of SS filter canisters if that's of any interest to you.ratchet wrote:think I'm going to take a crack at making a hop hopper (ba-dum-dum-chhhh) similar to the hop rocket... so a piece (and some screen) would be very much appreciated.

Re: Hopstopper screen
X, do you live in some sort of ss scrap yard? I'd be interested in one of those canisters if available? Man this board is great! All kinds of resourses out there I didn't know were available to me
"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.

X - Do you have a photo of what those SS filter cannisters look like?
I might try to take a run at a hop rocket too.

Re: Hopstopper screen
I chucked it, lol. Myself and ratchet looked at it and decided that it wasn't going to work. I think his idea of building from scratch is probably the best bet.

Re: Hopstopper screen
Is this stainless steel screen still circulating around? I'm looking to try and get some of it for a hop stopper.

Re: Hopstopper screen
I'd like to grab a bit of the screen as well if there is some left.

Re: Hopstopper screen
Run through what is left of that roll, and I'll get some more if needed.
