Hop spider design
kgs:
I'm building a hop spider this weekend -- looks like an easy/fun project. Got my parts. Got some time.
I looked at the BYO article, and my first thought was to flip the PVC coupler so the clamp rested on the shoulder of the coupler, to minimize the risk of the bag sliding off. Anyone else do that?

I didnt think to do that with mine but I've never had the clamp or the bag slip off.

Here's mine! I started with a 2qt stainless dog pail and cut off the bottom with an angle grinder.
saintsbrew:
Very cool spider!

Here's mine, although not really a "spider." I took the original design and made mine so that it hangs off the side w/ a towel hook. This way I can easily get my IC on the other side of the kettle. Works great!
As you can see from the pic, I did turn my coupling upside down and brought my straining bag up through the inside. This holds very well and I haven't had any issues with the straining bag sliding off.
