Recently dry hopped my APA by dropping my pellets directly in the carboy. Is it ok to filter these hops from my beer by putting a grainbag over my hose when I rack the beer?
Go buy a two pack of paint strainer bags here. Sanitize it with the rest of your equipment, then slide it over the bottom of your racking cane (the end that goes in your carboy). Secure it with a rubber band.
Now you can stick the racking cane all the way to the bottom of the carboy and filter out hops and anything else at the bottom of the carboy. No aeration worries either, since your at the bottom of the beer!
Wash and reuse. I've done it this way for years.
