Dry hop help?

This was my first attempt at dry hopping and my first use of the 6.5 gallon Big Mouth Bubbler, siphonless, plastic carboy. Given that scenario, the Depth Charge Dry Hop Filter seemed like the perfect accessory. I chose to dry hop before the secondary fermenter but after really active bubbling had ceased in the primary. The beer is now in the secondary so I won’t know for a month or so, if this technique will work. The DC got the job done, using home-grown, whole hops.

The issue I had, which other reviews have addressed, is that the DC lid, which does hold the screen just fine, and the silicone seal ring around the base of the lid, DID NOT stay in place. There was still enough pressure in the carboy to gradually force the lid up.

This seems like a real design flaw to me. The black plastic lid appeared to be too flexible, and in combination with a very soft silicone ring, just wasn’t satisfactory. I understand that the harness/ carrying strap that comes with the Big Mouth Bubbler is supposed to address this issue but it just doesn’t facilitate adding or agitating the hops.

I’d suggest a match harder, less flexible plastic lid in conjunction with a stiffer seal ring, that would possibly stay in place.

The Depth Charge filter otherwise is well manufactured and of very good quality. I would recommend it if the lid issue is resolved.

Explosively good!

Great quality, well built. Drop it in, add hops and tighten down the harness. Easy.

Does what is says, works perfectly with big mouth carboy.

New to homebrewing. Using this created a super easy process for the dry hopping process. Very easy to clean afterward.
