I wouldnt recommend it. However despite that, it may work for a while. Since hot dip galvanizing is a coating, your first issue is abrasion against the float. Second, zinc in the coating is sacrificial and over time you may find it corrodes…

I still use both methods. I use the mesh filter version for dry hopping and it works well.

I found all the parts on Ebay with no problem, bought supplies to make 3, all for $40 with shipping and will have left over wire and hose after.
Expecting the parts soon, I will update after assembly and a couple uses. Thanks again.

Sure as long as ethanol and low ph beers wont affect it?
