not my idea...I stole the entire thing from John Brooke's article in the December Brew Your Own magazine.
Thats a regular grain bag / hop bag attached to it...full of hop pellets.
Notice how the heads of the carriage bolts hang over the lip of the pot so the thing doesn't fall in.
Note...I had to trim the hop bag. I was afraid that, if it's too big, as the pot comes to a boil, it would inhibit that great roiling boil you need to make sure to drive off all the DMS stuff.
Worked great.
Between this thing and the hop blocker...I punched in six ounces of hops and had very little in the primary and the chiller didn't get clogged.
The whole thing cost me less than $10.
