Not sure if anyone else does this and i wanted to get an opion or two...
I always cool my boil and then strain it through a strainer into my carboy... but.. when my strainer clogs with hops (I use pellets for everything), I use my "brew spoon" to press the hops against the strainer and get every drop of wort out of the mush.
Any reason at all NOT to do this??
I've been really happy with my beers but have always wondered if there was some reason to not do this.
