Just got my 20 gallon pot and have a few questions.
Does any one use this with a plate chiller and hop spider that does not use the hop blocker or any other filter? reason I ask is in my old pot I had a home made spider with the 5 gallon paint strainer bag and a bazooka tube. I had good success with that but the Blichmann does not have a connection for hte bazooka screen just the dip tube.
I did order the hop blocker but after reading it looks like that is hit or miss.
With my previous setup I would recirc through the plate chiller till I hit 80 then reduce flow and into the fermenter.
I guess what I am asking is if anyone just uses the dip tube with no other screen but a hop spider that has had success and no chiller clogging.
