HopBlock filter in action vs. leaf and pellet hops:
I recently upgraded from a Unibrau 10g system to a 20g system. I chose Brau Supply because it was a modular system, and I could use all my existing Brau Supply pumps and heaters, etc. on the 20g system. I also ordered the HopBlock Filter for the 20-30G system since the one I had in my previous 10g system worked so well.
I made a simple (8.5 lbs. of grain) Cream Ale with 1 ounce of hops and used the new HopBlock filter. After I was done, I saw that the HopBlock filter had basically started to collapse. I am thinking the span is too much and it buckled. I am guessing that there needs to be more support to prevent this from happening.
I have never given anything but a 5-star rating to all of my Brau Supply product, but I cannot let this pass.
Long time Unibrau user, been meaning to purchase this for a while, finally got around to it.
Works really well, probably too well if you end up with grain in the boil as it clogs easily…I will be widening the gap on my mill a bit to try and minimize that issue…I’ve been crushing my grains finer than is recommended for the Unibrau.
Once I have everything dialed in, I expect it will be an excellent addition to my system.
Surprisingly simple solution to a common annoyance. This very effective little accessory makes a huge difference.
This is a definite solid buy! Had it in place when brewing a batch and it really helped keeping all the floaties from going through the pump. Easy to install, easy to clean.
Highly recommend this as a buy for anyone looking to help keep the junk out of your beer when your transferring it to a fermenter or even if you're taking it up to the whirlpool arm.
Thank you Robbie we’re so happy that you love your new setup!
