When you are transferring the wort to your primary fermenter, and you have a bag full of hops (flavoring or bittering) in there - are you supposed to squeeze out the juices from this into the wort? Sometimes the volume from these things can be pretty big, the hops can really absorb a lot of fluid and expand. I also wonder how much of the good hop oils get stuck in the bag if you don't wring it out?
Another question - do you ever remove hops from your solution before the boil is over? For example bittering hops that you added at the beginning of the boil? Or do you always just strain it out at the end?
