Getting ready to brew my second extract kit and got thinking about what issues I had with the first batch and how I could improve my technique. Both kit instructions for the hop additions say to just dump the hops (pellets) right in. Then they say that when the wort is transferred to the fermenter to leave the trub behind. When I did my first batch, I thought I could just pour it slowly, but alot of trub was coming along for the ride. I had to quickly sanitize a strainer which clogged up really fast and had to be emptied several times. I'm thinking there must be a better technique than this. What is the best method to transfer the wort to the fermenter and leave the crap in the pot...?
