This manual covers the operation, assembly, and maintenance of the Blichmann Engineering HopBlocker boil kettle filtration system, including installation…
The Blichmann Engineering HopBlocker is a boil kettle filtration system designed primarily for use with Blichmann Engineering BoilerMaker brew pots, though it can be adapted for other compatible kettles. The system utilizes a sliding shield and fine filter element to remove hop break material and pellets from wort without plugging, filtering up to 95% of particulates when used correctly.

No, whole loose hops will likely plug the unit and prevent wort from draining.
Gently bend the shield in slightly so it grips more firmly.
Reduce the drain flow rate to about 1/3 the initial flow rate to avoid sucking settled particulates into the filter.
