Keg dip tube screen?
« on: October 22, 2016, 06:52:42 pm »
A week or so ago, someone posted a link for a nice dip tube screen and I didn't bookmark it.  Can't find it again.  :(

I'm currently dealing with the remnants of hop pellets from dry hopping clogging the poppet. Would this be effective against pellets or just whole leaf? Thanks.

Curious as well.  I would be concerned that the clog would move to screen instead of poppet

A screen paired with a slight shortened dip tube works well.

You can also make your own smaller screens for the dip tube. I used some extra stainless steel hose braid, rolled up and trimmed the end. I have only used them with whole hops, though.

I been using these for a few years. Doesn't work as well with pellets. Leaf is fine. Wish they would make a slightly smaller micron size to see if it would help with pellets.

I've seen screens in the past that have laser drilled holes. I only saw it from one online shop and they didn't carry it last I looked.

ETA - Found it at AHB - http://www.austinhomebrew.com/Dip-Tube-Screen_p_4768.html&utm_source=google&utm_medium=shopping?gclid=CjwKEAjwnebABRCjpvr13dHL8DsSJABB-ILJVQLaJYPksQh6K1mhc6VC1YWdME8mr_yGW-V5KLgxCxoC1z7w_wcB
