What kind of hopstopper do you have, i was for ever getting stuck run-offs from the boiler.
Mine was a H&G stopper it was woeful at first, then i cut more slits, which worked a bit better, then i resorted to drilling holes in the other side. Worked a treat but i made them too big and bits of hop and all sorts came through it, tried to rectify the situation by wrapping the whole kit and caboodle in a 'stainless' splatter guard, worked brilliantly but turned out it wasn't stainless it rusted like hell and im convinced it gave a few of my beers an off flavour, its now in the bin (the splatter guard that is). On my latest brew i reused the hop strainer but this time i had the slits facing upwards and the holes underneath, worked like a charm, why i didn't think to use it that way in the first place i'll never know
