To strain or not to strain

[burch]

Do you strain the wort into the primary fermenter or not ?

Yes i do check out the buck or two stores and pick up a metal strainer or cheese cloth.

I don't and it comes out fine. I use extracts and hop pellets, plus a bag for steeping grains, so other than a little bit of stuff that gets out of the bag, and dissolved hops pellets, there is nothing to strain, and the hops settle into the trub during the brewing.

And I don't, but most of the wort is strained through a nice thick bed of whole hops in the bottom of the kettle.

I don't, but I put my hop pellets in a grain bag.
