Hop spiders , bags , or just let it roll

Well... I love my hop spider i always use it. Mind you, it's one of the long wide ones. Never burn anything or feel like it's clogged, I also have a bazooka filter conected at the bottom of the kettle.

I use a huge biab bag for the boil, held to the boiler with bulldog clips. Otherwise my tap got too blocked up when moving to the fv.

For dry hopping I just throw it it with no bag. All drops out in the cold crash, so haven't bothered with bags or spiders.

They say once bitten twice as shy..or what ever they say...sure Clint will tell me
So i justed hoyed in the hops in my GF, what a bell end....24L.
What a brewday from hell. infact.....i got so annoyed i took the whole wort with a jug until i could manage to hoy the whole thing...(obv i could of saved it) think clint can remember that day.
after spitting the dummy n calming doon, hop socks for years and whirl pool via electric stirrer.

Had to heighten the spider (wait for boil off) in a big brew and lower it...just wasnt happy with hops close to the top! if u know what i mean? defeat the object of using one if hows get oot in the kettle lol.
