Hop and grape hop filter modification

[andymacintyre]

After getting a very annoying stuck runoff from the boil yesterday, I have modified my Hop and Grape hop filter manifold to try and prevent the problem recurring. Picture below shows I have drilled two 3mm holes between each of the slits in the pipe.
I hope this improves runoff and stops clogging and does not let particle matter through.

i`m sure someone posted (more than one!) slots for grain and holes for hops

I agree, slots for grain and holes for hops. All you needed to do was add more slots about 4 - 5 mm apart.

I use 4mm holes drilled all round and just the straight piece without the square loop.
Never had a brew clog yet! (famous last words)
