The HopRocket™ is an incredibly innovative, feature packed hop infusing tool! Not only can it be used as a hopback, it doubles as an in-line hop infuser (Randalizer) for your beer dispensing system and TRIPLES as an in-line filter! Definitely cool, and clearly Blichmann - let the HopRocket™ put your hop aroma into orbit!!

Purchase a Blichmann Inline Infuser Hose and Fitting Kit for the Hop Rocket to transform your rocket into a Randall!

Unlike competitive units made from simple kitchen-ware fitted with a basic false bottom, the HopRocket™ has been designed from the ground up as a purpose-built, heavy duty, hopback and hop infuser. This clean sheet approach means truly superior performance and features:

* Pressure tight - up to 40 PSI operation!
* Holds up to 4oz of whole hops - 2X the competition!
* 100% stainless construction & silicone seals
* No need to monitor wort level - will never overflow and spill like competitive units!
* Fully enclosed system from brew pot to fermentor means no volatile hop aromas are lost!
* Inlet at the bottom allows air to automatically purge to reduce hot-side aeration
* Fine filter with wiper seal sends very clear wort to your fermentor.
* Coarse filter and cone bottom inlet prevents wort channeling and backup for even hop utilization
* Works on gravity systems and with pumps (about 4ft (1M) of static head is recommended for best gravity performance)
* Doubles as an awesome hop infuser (Randalizer) for your dispensing system
* 1/2" NPT connections are easy to adapt to - a perfect match for the QuickConnector fittings (P041 or P042). The HopRocket does not include barbed fittings.
* Measures 10" in height by 6.5" in width.

Use for leaf hops only, not for pellet hop use.

Q: If wanting tonuse a pump to cycle wort through, what all is recommended for use. I usually do gravity flows but new space restrictions would require a pump.

Asked by: Mack - 1/3/2021

A: the rocket comes with 1/2' male NPTend pieces to connect to fittings and tubing to connect to the pumps outlet flow to pass wort through the filter housing

Q: What size fitting would I need to purchase with this unit to connect it to silicone tubing? Not looking for the barb side size just the diameter and threads pitch of the housing.

Asked by: Randall - 10/14/2020

A: the thread used on these units is 1/2" NPT for the fitting needed to connect to the male threads

Q: Sorry, I should have been more specific. It doesn't seem like the T-handle does anything when I put it behind the nut. It just seems like it presses against the nut, but the nut stays in place and doesn't turn. Am I doing something wrong? The instructions aren't helpful and I can't find any videos that show the T-handle/nut combination in action.

A: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEO75CszMcI

this video can be found on youtube showing the use of the Hop rocket This was prior to the addition of the lock nut, which can also be removed from the thread and just use the thandle in its place

Q: When I'm tightening the clamp at the bottom, there is a nut on the threads and the T-handle. Do I replace the nut with the T-handle? Put the T-handle behind the nut?

Asked by: Nathan - 9/14/2018

A: correct, the Thandle is used to adjust the clamp once the nut is in place on the thread
