I tend to brew beers with a lot of hops and I always use pellets. After chilling in the BK, the last 1-2 gallons of wort is loaded with hop matter and break material. I even use a Jamil-style whirlpool wort chiller and I still have a hard time not throwing away a crap load of potential beer. Also, the ball valve on my boil kettle seems to always be below the level that the gunk starts, so I can never pull out clean wort.
How do I extract the most amount of clean wort from the boil kettle and only discard half gallon or less of sludge? What techniques are people using to minimize their waste?
