Ok, so it seems like the biggest deal with this all comes from two points: 1) Method for removing wort from kettle 2) Personal preference and comfort level with hops debris I'm figuring that since not only do I have a personal preference to just have the hops debris removed, I am altering my...

Ok. I guess this all should have been obvious, but I made an assumption that turned out to be incorrect. Thank you.

A thought occurred to me while replying to another post. I have an immersion chiller since I don't have a sink big enough to give my kettle an ice bath (it barely even fits into my largest sink). The chiller seems a little too tall for my kettle, so the "hook" bends are a few inches above the...

I guess I'll pick one up and see how it works for me with my next batch. Need to finish my fermentation cabinet first, though, so I have a spot to keep the carboys again. I didn't have any problem with the trub during fermentation or bottling. Seemed pretty well self-compacted into the...

Ok, so I'm not sure the paint strainer bags would work well for me, given the size of my pot. It's an 8-gallon pot (12.5 x 15) and the recipe kits I've used so far have called for boiling no more than 3 gallons. I figure it wouldn't make much difference boiling 5-6 gallons, but it would mean...

Yeah, that's why I want to filter it out. I wasn't looking for anything perfect, just enough to not have all of the hops continue through. I'll give the paint strainer bag a try, see how that works. Still going to modify my kettle, but I imagine this should make things easier.

Howdy. New to the forum, still somewhat new to brewing. I've brewed a couple extract kits so far, and they've turned out well. However, I'm looking to make the hops filtering process easier. When pouring the wort from the kettle into the fermenter, I've been using a combination of a large...
