These days knockout/whirlpool hop additions and hop stands are all the rage, but I was wondering if anyone has any opinions on hopbacks. Are they a useful in addition to hop stands, or are they redundant?
I built one several years ago, using an idea from BYO, -
Build a Stainless-Steel Hopback - Brew Your Own
but it didn’t work well with my setup at the time. Now that I’ve done some needed upgrades, I’m thinking of trying it again.
