Review on Ultimate Hop Spider: 300 Micron Mesh Stainless Steel Filter & Strainer for Home Beer Brewing Kettle by Rhonda Rrain

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for 15 gallon kettles

Well constructed but not ideal for under 15 gallon saucepans and under 10 gallon batches in a 15 gallon pot. In small pots, it needs to stay on the bottom to keep the hops in the wort. You may not get the full hop yield in larger, smaller volume pots. With huge curtains of hops, skip Whirflok or Irish Moss. This will clutter the screen and you'll end up with a full spider that won't expire. Lost nearly a gallon of beer as a result. If the flaws bother you, everything else is great.

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • Some difficulties
