I’ve been wanting one of these for a while but I don’t know how I would make this work with my keggle.
Any ideas?
Guessing you’d need to do some sort of modification to make this work. Maybe drill a couple holes in the lip (remaining part of the top of the keg)? Having said that, I’d probably just go with the other style of hop spider that’s out there for a keggle. Something like this… https://www.morebeer.com/products/kettle-spider.html
I have one very similar to this. I use it for a hop spider and also for final re-circulation filtering before whirlpool. It really cuts down on trub making it into the primary. I have had an obvious improvement in clarity of my beer following the addition of one of these to my brew day.
I use it as a spider through the boil. Once I’m to my last 5 minutes, I put the re-circulation return from my pump into the top of this and it starts to fill up. I have to dump out hop and trub at least once during this process. I then add finings and late hops. At flame-out, I’m hooked up to my re-circulation arm and have the copper chiller going while whirlpooling. This is raised up to allow it to empty – it can take some shakes and some effort to get it to completely drain, but not a big deal.
This is a good price. Nice addition.
