I want one
I have always used a hopsock also, it is a simple solution to keeping hop debris out of the wort the whole point of the helix is to get better hop utilisation without adding extra hops to compensate the loss of the utilisation.It was no surprise to read M&BB's post saying his wort tasted more hoppy, we all should have good recall on taste, and I also noticed the extra hop flavour from using a helix rather than the hopsock.No issues with the hops (I've always used a hopsock) and an exposed element?
Good point MJ, as I had to buy a bulk package I have a few left, they are good for almost any kettle, I have one in my BM 20 litre and one in the Guten, able to filter out hops put straight into the boil with no hop bag or spider.
For the BM. With final runnings

An alternative to this is a threaded SS coupler, I use a part similar to this https://www.brewershardware.com/1-2-FPT-Full-Coupler-304-Stainless-Steel.htmlFor joining 2 halves together use a copper capillary connector.
