Having trouble seperating trub from primary. I've read through some forums about people using paint straining bags to boil hops in with mixed reviews of hop utilization. I was wondering about just boiling as normal, putting the bag into the fermenter after the wort has cooled & pouring all of it in with the trub, then slowly lifting it out of the bucket to get all of the gunk out of the primary. This way the boil gets a full hop utilization & I get a high yield of clean finished beer. Also, I know I will lose some liquid so should I top off to 5 gallons after filtering out all of that garbage? Any thoughts?
