Excuse my noob

2nd batch here, first was a Black Butte Porter clone that tastes fantastic, friends are impressed etc etc...

Just started our 2nd batch, an IPA, last night, and I'm left thinking about the process.

After adding the hops and cooling the wart, getting ready to dump it into the carboy, we are left with very little liquid and a whole lot of wet hops...

What is the best method for making sure you get as much wort out of the hops?

Put the hops in a hop bag and strain them. I tend to drain/squeeze them.

Erm - very little liquid? Unless you are doing a gallon of wort and a pound of hops, I don't see how that's possible. Even with a double IPA, you should still have PLENTY of wort. Let's hear more about the recipe and the process you are using.
