Hey all,

I've heard this is a good hop blocker, SS and under $10. Anyone used it?

Should work OK, but won't hold much hops. You'd need multiple if you plan on doing anything other than a very lightly hopped beer.

yeah hop pellets swell like crazy when they hit the liquid, so that wouldnt hold too much (and it won't extract too well from however much you cram in there)
planning: beer for my cousin's wedding
Fermenting: black ipa
Conditioning:
Kegged: barrel barleywine from 2014 - i think i still have this somewhere
