Do you strain wort when pouring into primary?

[Vance71975]

Does anyone strain their wort when pouring into the primary fermenter? I'm wondering if it's worth it so I don't get so much junk at the bottom of my primary. If you do, how do you do it?

I just bottled a batch of beer and I went from my primary to a bottling bucket. This was the first time I didn't use a secondary. I ended up sucking up some of the junk and it ended up plugging up my bottling wand when I was filling bottles. It was a big pain.

If I did do this, do you think this would affect the IBU if I'm straining out some of the hops? I use pelleted hops.

Thanks

I have a bag that is very fine mesh, it is designed for wine making to easily separate the grape skins i think, i put that over my fermenter, and dump my wort in hops,trub and all, then just life out the bag and let it strain, works great for me.
