Description
Trub Stopper Small from BacBrewing – trub and hop filter for the brew kettle
The Trub Stopper sits at the bottom of the brew kettle and filters hot break material and hops from the wort as you drain it. If not filtered out, this material can affect fermentation negatively and cause off-flavours in the beer. The Small model has a diameter of 17 cm and suits kettles up to 30 litres, with either bottom or side-mounted heating elements.
Features
- 2 mm thick construction in 304 stainless steel, brushed and passivated
- Filter made of micro-perforated sheet metal, not mesh, so it will not wear at the edges
- Supplied with a food-grade silicone ring rated up to 180 °C
- All parts can be taken apart for thorough cleaning
How to use the Trub Stopper
- Lower the Trub Stopper into the kettle towards the end of the boil and use a mash paddle to centre it. The silicone ring holds it in place.
- After the boil, run a whirlpool and let the wort rest for about 10 minutes so that trub and hops settle and collect inside the filter.
- Drain the wort. When the liquid level reaches the Trub Stopper, slow down so that the level inside the filter stays the same as in the kettle.

Frequently asked questions about the Trub Stopper Small
Will the Trub Stopper fit my brewing system?
The Small model suits kettles up to 30 litres, with bottom or side-mounted heating elements. For larger kettles there is the Trub Stopper Large with a 40 cm diameter.
Why do I need to slow down at the end of draining?
When the liquid level reaches the filter, the level inside the Trub Stopper must stay the same as in the kettle. Draining too fast pulls trub and hops through the filter.
How fine is the filter?
The filter is 400 micron and made of micro-perforated sheet metal, not mesh.
