:: HopRocket Hop-back

HopRocket Hop-back The HopRocket is an incredibly innovative, feature packed hop infusing tool! Not only can it be used as a hopback, it doubles as an in-line hop infuser (Randalizer) for your beer dispensing system and TRIPLES as an in-line filter( see filtering info below)! Definitely cool, and clearly Blichmann - let the HopRocket put your hop aroma into orbit!!

Unlike competitive units made from simple kitchen-ware fitted with a basic false bottom, the HopRocket has been designed from the ground up as a purpose-built, heavy duty, hopback and hop infuser. This clean sheet approach means truly superior performance and features:

• Pressure tight - up to 40 PSI operation!
• Holds up to 4oz of whole hops - 2X the competition!
• 100% stainless construction & silicone seals
• No need to monitor wort level - will never overflow and spill like competitive units!
• Fully enclosed system from brew pot to fermentor means no volitile hop aromas are lost!
• Inlet at the bottom allows air to automatically purge to reduce hot-side aeration
• Fine filter with wiper seal sends very clear wort to your fermentor.
• Coarse filter and cone bottom inlet prevents wort channeling and backup for even hop utilization
• Works on gravity systems and with pumps (about 4ft (1M) of static head is recommended for best gravity performance)
• Doubles as an awesome hop infuser (Randalizer) for your dispensing system
• 1/2" NPT connections are easy to adapt to - a perfect match for our popular QuickConnector fittings (1/2", 3/8" barb and 1/4" flare)

The HopRocket can be utilized as a general strainer/filter but it is NOT intended to filter all the sediment and particles of your brew pot while using at a hopback. The large quantities of pellet hops, trub and other debris will plug and compact the hop bed stopping flow. The installation of a prefilter in your pot is recommended to prevent excessive quantities of material from entering the hopback. As such, recirculation whirlpool immersion chilling systems should not be utilized with the HopRocket.
