Hi all,
After searching on this topic to no avail. I have a question regarding hop pellets. I BIAB and use a hop sock, for the most part it has done its job and contained most of the hop matter from the pellets once they have broken up in the boil. I have recently started purchasing hop pellets from various sources and have found that more often than not the hop sock does not conatain the hop matter. Some of the pellets I have seem to be made up from compressed hop powder which the hop sock has no chance of containing. Other (more expensive) hop pellets seem to be made of bigger particles which are contained by the sock. Has anyone had similar issues with different hop pellets and hop socks? Can anyone recommend suppliers which produce hop pellets made from larger hop particles? Or even a hop sock with a super fine mesh?
Cheers, :beer:
