I don't think you'll find any hop sock that doesn't let any hop gunk through as they need to be open enough to let the boiling wort through so there will always be some slippage. I started using a hop sock when I changed to a plate chiller. When I use flowers I use a different set up as I don't think the hop sock is suitable.Logman said:I've got a hopsock but a decent bit is coming out of it, might be a bit old as it came with the rig I bought. Pretty sure what has leaked out is bittering the beer while it's left to settle. Might just buy a new one next trip to CB.

As Ducatiboy Stu said, hop flowers love to block up pick up tubes in kettles.Blackened said:Billygoat, what do you different with flowers?
Thanks for that dude. My old setup (200L kettle) I used a perforated copper tube and skewered a series of SS scrubbers to help filter, but I only used pellets. I'm dropping down to a 25L setup now, and can't fit my old dealy in there.billygoat said:As Ducatiboy Stu said, hop flowers love to block up pick up tubes in kettles.
I use a copper ring with holes drilled in it, instead of a pick up tube. It sits at the bottom of the kettle and I use an immersion chiller instead of my plate chiller. Works very well.
