I have a tall mesh tube similar to this that I sanitize and gently work down into the mead and fruit when I'm ready to move it to secondary. When I siphon I siphon from inside the mesh.
So far so good and yields are as expected with almost no solids making the way in unless I accidentally let the top of the mesh dip under the liquid level. Very little liquid when I emptied the fruit and cleaned the bucket.
It did take some angling of the bucket to make sure I got as much out as I could though.
I've recently bought a few of these but have yet to use them. After having a few muslin bags get stuck on the tip of the dip tube at the bottom of the keg, I've decided that stainless is probably a better option.
Why do so many people dry hop in these canisters? Seems to me they’re an awkward fit in a fermenter, they have holes in top, and the space could be cramped 😕
I think I like these bags more. They’re way bigger and I think it seals off better. Am I missing something? Just want to prevent clogs on closed transfers with huge dry hops.
You can still purge. Just open it quickly and throw in the hops. I would highly recommend either bagging the hops or using a dry hopper, cause hops will clog up quick disconnects like you wouldn't believe.
No worries! On cheesecloth in the keg - I did that once and some loose strands of cheesecloth ended up in the valve poppet, which made everything foamy. Not fun.
​
A couple other options:
How about drilling out a small stainless filter like this for the dip tube (https://www.amazon.com/Micron-Filter-Stainless-Cornelius-Brewing/dp/B06Y2F4BMY/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?keywords=hop+filter&qid=1563815355&s=home-garden&sr=1-2-spons&psc=1)
Connecting that to the dip tube, Fermenting in the keg, adding fruit and letting it do its thing, then transferring out to another keg when you're ready to? I bought one of these to do that with my fruited berliners but haven't had the time. I have also removed the poppet for transfers like you're saying but have ended up with clogs from the serving keg to the tap.
I just used one of these for the first time. I used pellet hops. It’s pretty rad!
