6" x 14" SS Hop Filter with Adjustable Hook - 400 Micron

I had been hopping my beers with cheesecloth for dried hop cones or pellets in a tea steeper/infuser. This adjustable-height basket was a much easier way to hop using dried hops. It is a bit large for an 8-gallon brew kettle, but this is why I appreciate the ability to adjust the height. Wish there were instructions for assembly, but looking at the pictures here on the AIH site, I was able to figure it out.

An adjustable hop basket is a must and this one did not disappoint.

I'm so glad I bought this, found it on sale so jumped on it. Keeps the hops mostly contained so the beer is so much cleaner. Wish I would have bought it sooner.

A little hop trub gets through the mesh when using pellet hops but I stired the hops several times so it could be my fault.

Recommended to get the adjustable arm like this - helpful for my all in one system. I’ve had varying effect, some pellet hops tends to clog up the mesh causing an overflow when I ran my recirculation pump into the hop spider, other hops no trouble at all. It accommodates 6-8oz of hops well.

Used it with hops pellets. I like not having the hops in the bottom of my Boil kettle.

There's not much to say other than the adjustability of the filter is very convenient. Hop sludge is well-contained in the filter and therefore is not in the fermenter.

I have a homemade boil pot out of a 15 gallon keg that I needed to have adjustability, this one does just that. It's well made and allows for good flow to allow the hop oils to bitter and flavor like no other!

Wish I would have bought this sooner. Keeps the trub out of the bottom of the boil pot. Almost zero trub. No need to whirlpool for this reason. Clearer wort into the Fermenter. Less wasted wort in the boil kettle. Get this one or one just like it. Highly recommend!

Wish I'd bought this thing sooner. I like to keep my setup simple and have been doing BIAB for years. Up until the last couple brews, I had been using hop bags during the boil. But all of the studies I've been seeing show that there's less extraction from hops in bags than loose ones, including those contained in sufficiently large mesh hop filters. More late hot-side hop extraction = more hop saturated flavors in the finished beer + fewer hops to purchase + less wort loss. I noticed a significant increase in hop flavor in my first brew with it, Other Half's All Together hazy IPA. Compared to the last few hazies I brewed, this one just immediately had more pop to it. This filter is the perfect size for a 15 gallon kettle, and I like the adjustable hook so that I can use it for my smaller BK as well.

I have the new Anvil Foundry 10.5 and needed something to reach deeper into the boil than my hop spider with bag. The adjustable height is easy to use, it's easy to pull in and out especially when adding my wort chiller. Has been as easy to clean as my silicone mesh bag. Seems well constructed - time will tell. I have only used it on two brews, but have enough under my belt to know that this is a welcome addition to my equipment stockpile.

This filter does exactly what it's supposed to. High quality.

Works exactly as expected! It kept all of the pellet hop matter contained, and no more clogged Grainfather filter!

Love the idea of being able to raise or lower my hops basket depending on batch size/volume!!! Cleaned up very easy after use. Perfect for 10-20 gallon batches.

Heavy Duty, gets Great flow during boil, looking forward to my first batch of All Grain Brew!

This filter allows you to determine how low it sets in the kettle, and does a good job of limiting hop residue while being big enough to allow for good hop utilization.

I use an electric brew system with heater elements in the bottom of my converted keggles. The opening to my keggle isn't cut completely to the wall of the vessel so I needed a hanger with a wider reach than most filters I've seen. The hook on this filter is perfect to hang from the side of my BK. I also switch between 5 and 10 gal batches. The adjustable arm allows me to drop the filter closer to the bottom (without touching the element) for 5 gal batches or I can raise it higher for larger batches. A small amount of hops does get into the boil with this filter (using pellets). My last bag filter was so fine that I got very poor utilization. The courser filter fixed that. I have had no issues with hops in my plate filler though while brewing super hoppy brews. Also, this filter is good and sturdy.

Used this 2 times now the last time with 8 oz of pellet hops. I am very satisfied with hop utilization and especially hop particle containment. The wort transfer to the fermentor is so so so much clearer with much less hop residue I used to get using a grain filter bag.

The adjustability is why I purchased this particular hop filter. It works great. It does bang a little on the side of the kettle during the boil but that is not unique to this filter.

I have only used this a couple times thus far, but it has been pretty good. I felt it made the boil go much better. Only thing I learned was late additions need to be stirred in and not to let it sit on the bottom of your pot as it will scorch.

I bought this filter to help in keeping my filter before the plate chiller from clogging. It worked flawlessly on a hazy IPA with 6 ounces of hops in a 5 gallon batch. I wish I'd had it for the 10 gallons of Imperial Stout I did a few months back.

Love this new addition to my setup... I feel like I retained good hop utilization, it cleaned up easily with a blast from my hose, and I just eliminated most of the schmeggy hop trub from a big IPA (I happened to be making an 11-gal batch of the AIH Hopslam Clone). Great product. Highly recommend.

I was a bit hesitant to purchase this item but that was mostly due to the cost. I was looking at the cheaper, non-adjustable units but decided to spend a couple of extra bucks and am glad that I did. The filter was extremely easy to get situated and worked great at filtering out the sediment. I typically make 5 gallon batches and rarely make IPAs but have every confidence that if I brewed an IPA that it would work fine with multiple ounces of hops. I had the cleanest transfer from the boil kettle that I have ever seen and cleanup of the screen & kettle was a breeze. I highly recommend that you add this to your list of brew day tools!

I've been looking for a kettle screen/hop filter for a while, but was always put off by the price. This one is big enough to take a beating on a DIPA in my 22 gal kettle without letting much pass through at all! I've never seen such a hop forward beer transferred to a carboy with such little hop matter. Definitely wish I found this sooner!

Works amazing. No longer need a secondary filter. Wish I bought it sooner.
