    Dry yeast vs. liquid yeast

    Hop residue stuck in funnel? What to do.

    I'm a relative newbie to homebrewing and recently finished my third extract brew. I'm having a problem when transferring my wort to the carboy. I use a funnel with a screen at the bottom and the hop residue clogs it up. I constantly have to scrape the screen to allow the wort to flow thru...
