6" Stainless Steel Kettle Screen W/1/2" NPT fitting

I have been needing a screen in my brew kettle for some time now. I bought this one and it really helps in straining anything from getting into my pump.

Was exactly what was needed. Fits mash tun perfectly.

Problems occur if you want to disconnect the screen from the bulkhead for cleaning. The screen is not attached very well to the 1/2 x 1/2 stainless steel close nipple and comes apart when cleaning. You then have to remove the nipple from the bulkhead and reattach the screen. This can be difficult, if not impossible, if the screen gets bent in any way.

I've had to buy this product twice now (the other time was not from AIH). This version of the kettle screen is a very high quality stainless steal. And I actually paid less for the AIH with shipping than from another vendor. Get yourself the connectors here as well. I've paired it with their 15 gallon 1-port and makes boiling wort, chilling, and getting wort into the fermenter easy.

Works very well, doesn't collapse under the weight of the mash. The screen did come off the connector when washing, so I did have to re-tighten.

Good value for the price. Had some trouble with the screen coming loose from the fitting. After adjusting and retightening, it worked fine.

I started brewing smaller batches because of the winter weather. I started out BIAB'n but I couldn't get the efficiency I wanted. Saw this on AIH and decided to give it a try. The hose clamp needed to be tighten but I was very impressed with the overall construction. Worked great.

This is a great option - and very convenient - for filtering hop matter from your wort - if you so choose to do so. I like the size and shape and it seems to work well so far. Easy ready-to-use installation by just screwing it in. Pretty simple, yet effective.
