Page 2 The bottom of the dip tube should sit above the bottom of the pot about 3/8” to ½”. Since you cannot rotate the tube to install it, you will need to provide a compression or flare fitting adapter on the inside of the pot to accommodate installation of the HopBlocker . The closer you can get the HopBlocker to the sidewall of the pot the better the performance will be.
Page 3 If you are using a keg (which has a rounded bottom), you will need the filter centered on the bottom. Note that this does decrease the effectiveness of the HopBlocker (2) At the end of the boil use your stir paddle to feel for the HopBlocker and confirm that it is still sitting properly on the bottom of the pot and not at an angle.
