I currently use a 10" stainless spider in my BK. It doesn't matter what type of hops I use, they go in there. I used to use nothing. I fought it like a caveman. I then bagged and got tired of the empty, clean, tight-ars thing. Then I enjoyed tossing into the easy clean, no clog, stainless piece of heaven. I clamp to the side and let it drop down when I lid the BK for chill. I don't whirlpool for trub separation anymore. I whirlpool when I chill now. No need for the hop pile, it is my stainless hop collection Coupe de Ville. Everyone has different methods, this one is one of the best pieces I've ever made period. I do think that this would have been better if it matched the id of my BK.
