Cheap Mini Randall

Sat Jul 23, 2011 4:49 pm

ok folks, here it is, a mini-randall for your inline hop madness, for under $20 complete!

Garden Hose Filter:

Just fill the mesh with hops and run it backwards!
TruValue should have the rest of the fittings.
rated for up to 80psi (?!)
I'm using 10' of 1/4" refrigerated tapline on the outbound side to mellow the foam, and enjoying a nice, slightly foamy Amarillo-blasted IPA right now.
Cheers

Pretty cool! How much hops can be held in the mesh? I'm assuming whole hops, right?

the mesh is about 1 3/8" diameter, with a usable depth of about 4".
I didn't weigh the hops, hell I could barely keep my pants on
Whole cone hops for sure,
...if only there was a suitable way to do this with pellets and not get the gritty.

Cool I might see if I can find one... I'm running a 7' x 1/4" line... I'm thinking I may wanna go longer to cut back on some of the foaming... Have you tried dropping your serving psi. To see if that helps with the foam?
