Hello all. I have a quick question. As with all my hobbies, this one is getting out of control. I recently bought a conical stainless fermenter, and love it. I also just started growing my own hops. I made my first batch using the whole leaf hops. With my recipe, I used both whole leaf, and pellet hops. My question is this....when using whole leaf hops, should I strain them out of the wort prior to putting them in the conical fermenter? With the pellets, they would fall to the bottom, and i would use my dump valve. With the whole leaf hops, some float, some don't. Some come out the dump valve, some don't. If I do strain them, will I loose the aroma hops aroma? Thanks in advance.
