Hello to everyone this is my first post and first time trying to brew my own beer fingers crossed. Okay onto my question, I will be making a DIPA in a 2.5 gallon batch full wort boil with a late malt extract addition. My question is should I use pellet hops or whole hops? I will boil the wort, chill with hops in and then pour right into the fermenter. Would it be easier to use whole hops or is there some easy way to keep most hop sludge left from pellets out of the fermenter with a strainer of some kind. Any help would be appreciated and cheers!
P.S. I'm starting small crawl before you walk.
