Hi all, I'm assuming someone has found the perfect stainless steel giant tea ball or cylinder that fits in a manway type thing for use instead of a cheesecloth/hop sack/spicebag type thing. Mind sharing?

I would love to find something like this.
I guess, we could have them made by any well trained stainless welder... but there must be some around.________________

The perforated stainless cylinder in a Bavarian hopback makes a nice infuser. http://bavarianbrewerytech.com/forsale/hopback.htmPhillip Kelm--Palau Brewing Company Manager--

McMaster-Carr has some great stainless screen. You could easily fold it and sew up the seam with stainless wire stripped from an edge. I used it to captivate my fresh hops and keep them submerged while dry/wet hopping.
Not all that cheap, though!

I took some nylon window (door) sheers, folded them in half and sewed the edges up. I used nylon thread and covered the seam with reinforcing tape and put a drawstring through the pockets that were already in the top and bottom of the sheers.
Worked like a champ and retained pellet hops too. Only problem was the sheer (no pun intended) weight of the wet hops afterwards.

I used to buy nylon lingerie bags at the grocery store next door to my pub (look in the laundry Isle). These have a coarser mesh than a hopsock. I'd pull off the aluminum zipper part and close the opening with a couple of boiled zip ties.
Worked a treat for dryhopping with leaf hops.Last edited by burlybeer; 11-19-2009, 04:13 PM.

Anyone Still Interested?
If anyone is still interested in something like this, I might be able to help you out but I need some dimensions. I would basically like to create a giant tea ball with stainless mesh.Jet Gasket & Seal Co
