Just finished my first all grain 2.5 gallon brew and had a question.
I did a BIAB and during the boil I just add the loose hops as I also use Irish moss
in the last 10 minutes. I have been using a paint straining bag to pour into the fermenter which leaves a good amount of liquid in the bag. Is it a good idea to squeeze this into the fermenter or just let it drain till it stops dripping? I usually
have been using a primary and a secondary , approx 2 weeks each
to clear things out.
 
Squeezing HOP bag, sure. get all you can.

Squeezing grain bag, however, is a big no-no.
(I did it several times before I learned...and how they improved!)
