Re: Cheap hop spider
Since it is coming from China expect it to take at least 2 weeks, maybe 3-6.
Re: Cheap hop spider
Brew day with mine on Sunday
Will report back and try and do a brew thread

Re: Cheap hop spider
Right well we aren't using it in anger today as decided to only make one beer. However we dropped it into f00b4rs buffalo and measured the temp inside and outside the basket and it doesn't affect the boil at all. Wort seems to flow freely through it as well so I would say it will work well.

Re: Cheap hop spider
I suppose as long as there aren't any holes in it it should be fine.
As I said at the top, the p&p is usually more than the cost of this one

Re: Cheap hop spider
Tbh Orlando I'd complain to ebay and say it arrived in such a state you couldn't use it. You'll get a refund
Re: Cheap hop spider
Demig's arrived in the same sort of state-owned and it just pushed out, I am guessing they didn't want to spend the money protecting it properly.

Re: Cheap hop spider
I checked for that and it doesn't appear to have any. I have tried pushing it out but it is never going to look like the original picture. If they refund completely I will have no complaint, even if I get only 1/2 I won't complain any further. Have raised it so will feedback when I get a comment. It is important to complain because even if it puts the price up it will raise confidence in buying from China. They have to learn price isn't everything, quality is required to. As long as we keep buying that's the only justification needed.Hairybiker wrote:I suppose as long as there aren't any holes in it it should be fine.

Re: Cheap hop spider
It is at least a lot bigger than I was expecting, word was it isn't long enough but it sits on the bottom of my 70l kettle and the hook reaches the top to hook over. If it had arrived in perfect condition I would have been really impressed.Hairybiker wrote:Dam I ordered mine on the 29th!
