Redo! Accidentally hit send...
1 - 1/4 32" metal rod cut in half.
1- hop mesh bag (10x14) sizeish
1 - ss hose clamp
1 - small o-ring
Take the tie string out of the mesh bag, thread your metal rods halfway through, cut new outlet holes. Secure with hose clamp and o-ring. Install on kettle. Done. All this stuff was laying around in my brew supplies. Now let the hop schedule begin, open/close add hops as scheduled. No more tying off bags and throwing them in one by one.

Well done, does it work for 5 gallon boils too?

I'm sure it would, it just depends on how tall your kettle is. You could probably get a longer/shorter bag to adjust for size and how much hops you plan to use.
