Keep the hop pellet and trub in the bottom of the kettle when you rack to primary?
I always lose almost 3/4 - 1 gallon of wort by trying to keep as much hop residue out of primary. Is it necessary to keep the primary this clear? Any tips on getting the most wort out? I have an immersion chiller, and I do whirlpool stir the wort after it has cooled, but I still can't seem to get a neat pile of trub in the center of the kettle.
