Dumb Pellet Question

[woodwormm]

I've only got a couple BIAB brews under my belt... so excuse the dumb questions..

will pellet hops block my FPHE? or do they dissolve enough not to?

i'm paranoid about clogging up the chiller, so have been using hop socks and leaf only hops, but that limits my hop choices and makes multi hop additions difficult, and i'm not convinced i'm getting full utilisation from the hops inside the bags...

You could always build a hop spider.

Considering a spider... is stainless flywire fine enough ? Would it contain pellet sludge ?

Yes pellet hops do clog plate heat exchangers. Ive found out for myself lately.
