I like the sound of this. How do you keep it in place without it coming away from the outlet?
Just scrunch it up and work it into the tap - about half of it in and half out. I've never had one come away in the boil after 30 or so brews. When done just pull it out and rinse off the hop debris, leave to dry and it's ready for next time. I'm still using the same one! It's fitted to the inside of the tap, just to clear up any confusion.
Thanks mate, l'll give that a go on't next brew :D
