Used the HopBack for the 4 oz. of Cascade at flameout. Decide to try using a bunch of whole hops without bagging them. Toward the end of the runoff the HopBack got a little clogged, but nothing major. It did its job and filtered a lot of the break material. I also boiled a little longer than I originally planned and hit a slightly higher OG. OG: 1.052 #93
