Place on the end of a dip tube and dry hop in a keg.
I use it as a keg dip tube filter for dry hopping. It fits perfectly with a hose clamp. Works very well with whole leaf hops. Not so well with pellet or powder hops.
Technically 2 decades. This works perfectly for me with my stainless racking cane. I can dry hop with 4 oz pellet hops, without bagging them, and this screen filters it all out when I rack into an additional carboy or keg. Just don't slide the screen all the way up on the end of your racking cane. Leave a good 1.5" to increase the effective filtering surface. Works like a charm.
Probably should've done more research before impulse adding this filter to my cart.I'd thought this would fit on the 3/8" auto-siphon, but it is meant to go over a simple racking cane, so was slightly disappointed when I opened the box.That said, this little filter works like a charm for its intended purpose.
Works well. I added a worm clamp to hold filter in place on the stainless racking cane.
Put these on all my kegs and haven't had an issue. Even using whole cone hops without a hop sock.
not what I was looking for to small for what I needed
I have now converted all my kegs with these. Dry hopping is all done in kegs and I have also been able to put fruit in a keg without any clogging issues. A must!
Great for racking off of dry hops.
simple,cheap, and effective!
When I first saw these I was skeptical. I was looking to add whole leaf hops directly into a keg for dry hopping (no bag). My plan was to place them over the end of the drip tube, but I was worried that the small amount of exposed area would not be enough and clog while dispensing.Needless to say I was wrong and now these have become standard use for me in all my dry hopped beers.
I tried several methods for dry hopping: hop sock with marbles, cheesecloth and nylon over the racking cane, etc. After using tube screen for the first time, I was able to minimize the loss of beer in the final transfer, and have not have to deal with any clogs or leaf particals in my bottling bucket. Nothing but clean clear beer to bottle for now on!
works great..a few pumps and your beer start racking..plastic doesnt stratch carboy or plastic buckets..a must have
I add whole cherries and raspberries to my sours, and while the real fruit flavor adds an amazing depth keeping chunks out and the siphon unclogged always took an enormous amount of work before I bought this simple screen. Well worth the small cost.
I used to attach a piece of nylon mesh to the end of my racking cane to filter out the whole hops used for dry hopping. This works better and is easier to use. Well worth the small investment.
Good solution for conical fermentor racking arm? I believe the racking arm in my SS Brewtech fermentor is 1/2" so one question is whether this will fit around it. I would also like to know whether it's too long for that application (not much room in the cone part of the fermentor where the racking arm is). I use pellet hops. I don't mind small bits getting through but I want to avoid clogging at the keg post during a closed transfer. If this isn't a good solution what else is? I would like to dry hop with loose hops to maximize contact so those hop canister thingies don't seem great to me.
On mine the filter is the same diameter as the racking arm so it won’t fit over or inside it without some kind of adapter or modification. It does fit nicely over the brew bucket style racking arm.
When I used to have a brew bucket this is exactly what I used it for and worked great. Slides right over and didn't need to clamp it down or anything.
This isn't what you want. You are looking for an inline filter like the Bouncer Mac Daddy inline beer filter. You can use different gauge screens to dial in what size you want to catch.
This won't work very well with pellets. It clogs quickly. It will work on half inch but it will take some time to stretch it to fit
