How can I make/use a hopback?

Post by johnmac » Tue Jan 19, 2010 8:18 pm

I have a simple ten gallon brewery. I don't have a pump and I'm avoiding HERMS/RIMS because of the extra cleaning and setup time. Can I use a hopback without a pump? Is the wort normally run through the hopback hot, or cold? Thanks.
