Here's a cheap Hop Spider for anyone interested. Total cost was about $7 and that includes:
1 x 3" to 2" PVC Reducer
4 x 5.5" Carriage Bolts
8 x 1/4-20 Hex Bolts
8 x 1/4 Flat Washers
1 x 3" worm clamp
1 x 1 Gallon Paint Strainer
I had several things I wanted: Easy to make, fast to make, inexpensive, sized for pot, and most importantly, I didn't want cross bars across where the hops go in.
Here's the reducer to get.
Finding where to drill. There's many ways to do this. Do what works for you. I just happen to have a Center Finder. Remember to drill on the larger side of the reducer, that'll be the top, where the hops go in.
All four holes drilled.
Exploded view of all parts just prior to assembly.
