These stainless steel filters are perfect for containing hops while brewing beer! Known as a hop spider, hops filter, beer wort cup, wort scoop cup, hop basket, or just plain beer brewing filter, they sit inside a brewing kettle and keeps the hops contained during the brewing process. They are great for keeping the hop gunk from building up on the bottom of your kettle and also help to keep your plate chiller from plugging up. The basket is made from 100% 304 stainless steel. The stainless mesh is available in 300 or 400 micron, which based on experience among home brewers seems to be the sweet spot for containing the hops. For pellet hops, 300 micron works the best and 400 micron works best with whole leaf hops. 400 micron will also work with pellet hops, but 300 micron tends to contain the dust better. We've also had several customers use these filters to brew coffee and tea with as well. Customers have told us that these filters rock! Especially when used with hot brewing where plastic filters tend to melt. This is just like our other filters except that it's built to fit inside a beer keg converted for beer brewing, commonly called a keggle. The brewing filter is 6" diameter, 14" tall and features a heavy duty 300 micron stainless steel mesh screen on the side and bottom. The hook attached to the top is 4" tall with a 2" extension with a 1" hook making the complete filter and hook combined 18" tall. It's a perfect fit for most keggles and the 300 micron mesh is awesome at keeping your hop gunk from building up in your keggle or plugging your plate chiller! Micron Recommendation:

• 300 Micron - Best for pellet hops
• 400 Micron - Best for whole leaf hops

NOTE: 400 Micron size may take 7 to 10 days to ship
