400 Micron Stainless Hop Filter - 6" x 14"

Overall, this works as it should. I brew on the Anvil Foundry 10.5 and it's a bit large for the brew pot. This is especially true when you need to keep this in and sanitize the wort chiller at the same time (not the basket's fault). I'm having to pull the basket out, put the wort chiller in, then replace the basket. It is a little precarious because the basket holds wort in the hop matter, so it drips everywhere and the whole thing is hot. I purchased it because of its length but really could use one that is half the diameter. Cleaning is a little difficult, but not impossible.

Used this for one brewing session. It worked well. Plenty of space for the hops to dance in the boil. No bags to fill and tie and throw away.

Perfect size for 10 gallon pot and really helps eliminate hop particles in wort.

The unit fits well and probably keeps 50% of the debris out of the wort, however at the seem in the mesh and the welds where the hooks meet the cone I have rust after one use . Not sure it is very well constructed.

Works great. Easy to clean.

It does as it says. I used 4 bags of hops in it. Couldn't believe how much residue was left in strainer after wort was done.

Fits really well into the kettle and does cut down on hop debris into the fermentor. I would say it holds 50% or so of the pellet debris. Since it doesn’t touch the bottom of the kettle I think I may try it in combo with a hop sack. I think if u use whole cone this probably is awesome, it’s just pellets break down so small in the boil. Nice thing is it’s big enough that everything stays well submerged in the liquid while the tip prevents anything from boiling out over the top. Overall I give it a B-.

Much more room than my previous one allowing hops to mix with wort better. Fine mesh screen. Heavy stainless frame with good quality welds. Work well with the depth of Robobrew.

This is quite a large strainer. I use pellet hops, but this could be easily used for a ton of whole leaf hops. It is solidly built and keeps the hop debris out of my fermenter. Great deal on sale!

A little larger than I expected, but working very well. No plugging up of my pump and cooler.

Quality material and keeps hop particles out of your wort.

The filter is made well and does a great job keeping the hops and Irish moss contained. Really not needed unless you're using a pump or plate heat exchanger. For those with shorter kettles make sure to keep off the bottom. I have a 7.5gal just short enough not to hook the filter on the side. I set it in the center, which was fine until I transferred to the fermenter and found a scorched 6" ring. Now that I know, I will be able to work around the issue.

I got a 300 micron filter when they first came out years ago. Such a great job of keeping the wort clearer, but was so fine that it clogged. The 400 micron one I just got, and have brewed with it a couple of times, is much better as far as clogging goes. Can't imagine brewing without it.

I used this twice so was it in the boil for about 2 hours. The mesh developed a hole along the top frame from bumping on the pot. The basket hangs too close to the pot.

This does a really good job of keeping the hops out of the pump and fermenter.

Great wide mouth hop filter, works well. Only improvement would be to extend the boil vessel hooks so that it could be used with various depth boil pots.

Huge difference in how clean your wort is with this, it does take a bit to drain but worth it even with 1 oz of hops.

Went with the large size b/c I was concerned it wouldn't be deep enough to reach the wort. Could have easily used the smaller version. I've loaded from 1 to 7 oz of pelletized hops with no issues and it retains slurry to the point I don't even notice the residue in the carboy. Can't believe I didn't buy one sooner.

To anyone still debating on whether or not to buy this, DO IT! Solid build and great size. This can dual-purpose as a dry-hop filter as well, as it is tall enough to stand up in a 7 gallon fermenting bucket. BUY IT.

Very pleased with this. It fits well in my boiling pot and makes cleanup so much easier. I wasn't sure a hop filter was worth the cost, but now I know it is.

Absolutely love this filter screen! It is well built and fully adjustable, could even just sit it on the bottom if you have a smaller pot as there is a perimeter ring on the bottom that keeps the bottom off the bottom! I did a brew where I threw all kinds of "junk" into this screen including hops, irish moss, fresh ground seasonings, vanilla beans, coffee grounds, etc; after the boil I just lifted hop filter out containing all the mess and was exceedingly pleased to see that upon racking the wort the only materials left in the bottom of the pot was the hot break solids! I hope I never have to brew again without this tool! Great job guys!

The filter is quality made. It is a great addition to my setup. It could be an inch longer, but I'm not complaining.

Great filter, and a great price! You see these for a lot more elsewhere. And the 400 micron is the right spacing if you ask me. I have one that is 300 micron, it clogs up too easily. This one is the right balance between keeping hops out of the kettle but allowing wort to flow inside the basket.

I actually bought this filter to use as a large chaff filter on a coffee roaster. The built in filter was tiny and required frequent cleanouts. This large filter handles many successive roasts and has done a wonderful job for me. It is very well made and required only a minor modification to make it perfect for my use. It fits on the end of my 6" diameter roaster vent tube.
