Fill the HopRocket

tm 

with the desired amount of whole hops (up to 3oz) as shown in Fig 6 and then 

install the black o-ring on the top.   

 

NOTE:

 Pellet hops will not work in this product and will simply pass through the fine perforation.  I in 

excessive quantities they may plug the unit.   

 

NOTE:

 Immersion recirculation chillers may cause this unit to plug since all particulates and trub will 

pass through the filter multiple times. 
 

Caution:

 do NOT exceed 3oz of whole hops when using the cylindrical filter insert!  Hops expand when 

they are wetted and this may cause damage to the coarse screen and make the product more prone to 
plugging and excessive restriction. 
 

Next, place the coarse screen on the cone shaped cover and affix it with the wing nut as shown in Fig 7.  
A gentle tightening is all that is required.  Then place the cone cover assembly on the canister as shown 
in Fig 8.  Lastly, install the band clamp and tighten firmly by hand as shown in Fig 9. 

 

Note:

 ALWAYS apply a dab of Vaseline or drop of oil on the threads of the draw bolt before each use to 

prevent wear and galling of the threads.  Galled or warn threads are NOT covered under warranty.  
 
At this time, invert the HopRocket

tm

 and you’re ready to install it in your system!
