Stainless hop spider vs hop bag

Stainless hop spider contrast hop bag has a huge advantage, in addition to the above points, nylon hop bag inevitably releases substances harmful to the body at high temperatures, and stainless steel hop spiders are easier to clean and disinfect(Cleaning and disinfecting hop spiders before brewing).

Some users think that nylon hop bag is cheaper, but hop bags need to be replaced frequently, SS hop spider can be washed repeatedly, for long-term use, Stainless steel is more economical.

Hop spider utilization

Many customers often discuss a problem with me, the hop spider works well and keeps the beer clean, but hops didn't make full use of it. Here is the problem of hop spider utilization.

I have to be honest, it is indeed like this, but this problem is solved by methods. The hop bag lost hop utilization is about 10%, stainless steel hop spider has more space and flow than a bag, so its utilization rate is higher than a hop bag. At the same time, we can also stir hops in the hop spider, this way we can minimize the lost hop utilization.

Through a lot of experiments and customer feedback, very effective through this method, don't need to add extra hops to compensate, and the IPA is plenty bitter.
