Whats the best way to filter your wort into a carboy? I have a funnel with a screen built into it but it clogs really fast so I always have to stop pouring and clean out all the hops and other debries.
Thanks for the help guys, I think ill try the cheap method first. Using a mesh bag is it easy to get the bag out of the small carboy whole?
Try slipping a bazooka screen over the end of your racking cane. This should keep out all the hop debris.

This one has a male thread fitting, but you can probably find a plain one at home depot or any other hardware store.

I bought a fine mesh stainless steel strainer (with handle) from the restaurant supply place for $5-6 that fits into my funnel. If it gets clogged (only happened once in 10 brews), it's easy enough to dump it and clean it. And, stainless steel makes it easy to sanitize in idophor/starsan/etc.
