Plate chiller plumbing

the mesh ive pu in my hop stoper is really ine though im a bit worried it will be too fine and restrict the flow

 

[Aleman]

#30 or #40 mesh is more than fine enough

+1 to vertical installation as per Alemans post ,had the unenviable task of re-rubbering 8' long 6' high HE when I worked in fruit juice industry , those orange juice cells get everywhere let alone what hops will do to a braized HE as per Vossy's post. Kept me fit though ratcheting those plates tight with a 6' ratchet spanner lol :cry:

you will probably have to have a larger surface area Eddie, suck it and see (so to speak). With a good screen/filter in the kettle you may only need a few inches square fine mesh post screen or a hop stopper would do the job.

I'd love a smaller GPHE like that but they're too expensive at the mo....don't think I haven't been tempted though :twisted:
