Does this sit over the bucket or do you have to hold it?

It sits on the bucket, little too big, just have to watch how far you pull aside the hop material. otherwise you spill a little over the outside of the bucket.

I used a paint strainer bag in my last brew. Very easy.

One thing that could be done easily if someone really wants to strain, is to use a sanitized paint straining bag, or a very large mesh bag from the homebrew store.

My momma told me that the easiest-to-clean mess is the one you don't make.

+1 on Yooper's paint filter bag. Really works. Costs a couple bucks. Holds over 5# of grain. During the boil, I put hops in the legs from an old pair of pantyhose. There is minimal trub in the primary bucket after using the paint filter and panty hose.
