filtering after dry hopping

Im making an IPA and right now it is sitting in a secondary fermenter. I will be bottling it this Friday and I was curious what the best way to filter out the hop particles before the beer goes into the bottle.

Hold a mesh bag at the end of racking tube, will need the larger bags.

I have a bunch of cheese cloth. Would that work?

Go spend $3-4 on a pack of three paint strainer bags to place over your autosiphon. Works amazingly well.

I looked for them before. No luck. Any ideas where I can get some?

I've picked them up at Home Depot, just ask for 5 gal paint straining bags.

Lowes has them too:

Paint strainers are definitely the way to go. Using 2 bags (one inside the other) helps prevent clogging at the cane tip.

Don't forget to soak the bags in sanitizer first!
