I'll be trying something different tomorrow. The Hopstopper I bought a while back clogs when only using pellet hops so this time I plan on using a 5g paint strainer bag and placing a SS scrubbie underneath the pickup tube in my kettle. If this works w/o clogging, the next time around I'll try it with the Hopstopper and bag. I'm not giving up on the Hopstopper!

Which reminds me - I need to buy some ice tomorrow on my way home.
Anyhow, just thought I'd share

WOOHOO!
