Do hop bags (e.g. paint strainer) negatively impact hop utilization / IBUs?
If so, to what degree?
Using a 30 plate chiller, I need to keep my wort clean.
For those of you with plate chillers, what are you using to pre-filter? I am wondering if a combination of bag and something else will help.
Since moving to mashing in a bag (voile curtain), the pre-boil wort is clean.
I was thinking about building one of Lil Sparky's hop blockers; pvc collar and paint strainer bag.
