Hi,
Just started extract brewing and I've a stainless steel boiler. The hops are clogging up the tap after cooling and transferring to the fermenter. I was going to just buy one but maybe I can rig something up?

u just need a hop muslin bag. U get about 10 of dem for a fiver in homebrew shops.

u can tie de bag wit some string or a small cable tie.

He's still with us, but his business is closed at the moment.

ye I have a few t-balls for sale, ill bring a few for sale bits to lucan meet. I find dem excellent for dry hoppin cornies as dey sit bside de beer out pipe,  but for boiling malt & hops de bags I prefer.

Got two large t-balls from China. Smaller would be perfect to dry hop in the cornie, but with regular fermenter still need to use extra weight to sink it.

glass or stainless marbels are perfect to sink it..... 2 marbels usually works. I have 6 or so for sale 3 inch tea-balls suitable for dry hopping a corny say 15-20 litres.

for dry hopping, you can also use tights to make a bag

I made several versions and I've now settled on this one which I'm very happy with. However it has clogged with hop pellets on me(I hate pellets!!!)

b.a.l.l.s is easier to say than 'lee-a-roady'

what about 'tea spheres' for those that cant speak Irish

[DEMPSEY]

Language is a great thing,"the Square"shopping centre in Tallaght is really a pyramid but the locals could not spell pyramid so they called it the Square

[brenmurph]

so why is b.a.l.l.s. banned?
