I do use 2 of these hop spiders reason i do use 2 of these in my kettle. Have a feeling. If you put all your hops in one basket. It becomes to tight. You really have to swirl the hops around to get the hops flav into your wort so me divide the hops into 2 spiders. Good thing. Easy to transfer your wort. No trub. Cleaning spider bit much work
