Hop spider in the kettle and this little hop ball that takes up to 30g of hops in the fermenter. View attachment 104645

Is that one of those tea infuser things that's about the size of a golf ball? If so, there's no way that you can get 30g of hops in there. Let alone allow for the expansion of the hops as they rehydrate

No, at least it's not the size of a golf ball anyway. It's more like a tennis ball size. Maybe a bit bigger.

That explains it. It's hard to judge the scale of them from an image. Looks identical to the ones we use for tea - but obviously isn't!!
