Lakewood said:I'll probably use stainless steel screen mesh, so it's easy to clean and permanent.
Lakewood said:Ok. so i'm getting ready to source some material on this... what size mesh would you think will work best. I want it large enough that the boiling wort will roll through the mesh freely, but fine enough to keep most of the hop particulate contained.
Lakewood said:there are a lot of different sizes... i'm looking for some guidance on roughly where on the standard sizing i should aim. 20x20, 40x40, higher?
