FerMonster Filter Sock for Dry Hopping and Infusions
The FerMonster filter sock is a reusable mesh insert made for adding hops, fruit, oak, spices, herbs, and other compatible flavor additions inside a FerMonster fermenter. It helps keep loose material contained while still letting beer, cider, mead, wine, or kombucha contact the addition during fermentation or aging.
Use it when you want cleaner transfers, easier cleanup, or a more controlled way to pull an addition once the flavor is where you want it. It is especially useful for dry hopping, oak trials, fruit additions, spice infusions, and small experimental batches where loose material can clog racking equipment.
Best Uses
- Dry hopping: keeps hop material together while still allowing beer contact.
- Fruit, oak, and spices: useful when additions need to be removed or adjusted after tasting.
- Cleaner transfers: reduces loose solids that can settle near spigots, siphons, and racking canes.
- FerMonster fit: designed around compatible FerMonster fermenters and wide-mouth access.
Use and Cleaning Notes
Clean and sanitize the sock before use, avoid overpacking it, and leave enough room for liquid to move through the mesh. After the addition is removed, rinse promptly before residue dries into the fabric. For related gear, browse hop and grain bags, fermenters and accessories, and brewing equipment.
