I used dried whole-leaf hops for the first time and didn't filter out of my wort when transferring to my fermenting bucket. I opened the lid after a week (I was going to dry hop) and the entire surface is nothing but the whole leaf hops. They are no longer dried and they are so thick I cannot even see the beer below them.
It's 5 gal in a 6 gallon fermenting bucket and there's no way I could even transfer to secondary as those hops would just clog up my siphon. I'm in no hurry so should I wait for them to finally drop to the bottom or should I carefully use a strainer to remove them?
Thanks!
