Freecycle strikes again - just picked up a s/s pressure cooker, with the notion of turning it into a hopback. I'm thinking wort in through compression tank coupler in the lid, hopped wort out through the same at the bottom (with a filter), into my cfc. Anyone done such a thing?
 
In-line pump from boiler to 'hop back' (have to come up with a name for it). Pumped wort builds up pressure inside pressure cooker. Let it sit for 20 minutes or so, then open tap on pipe conected to cfc. Turn pump back on, pressure doesn't build up this time, but pressure cooker remains full of wort throughout, until boiler is empty. Just thinking....
