using hop bags

[bracconiere]

Would you say that this time you got more flavor out of the hops compared to using muslin hop bags?

A LOT MORE! but i'm not sure if that was commando style, or the fact i used like 2.5lbs of hops to see how the strainer worked! lol

When transferring wort from kettle to fermenter I use a sieve to collect hop material.
For dry and keg hopping I use a stainless steel 300 micron dry hopper.
Over the years of brewing I find this works best for me.

Normal kitchen sieve typically used for sieving flower when baking a cake.

You must be using whole flower hops.

I use one of these. The wort that comes through isn't exactly crystal clear, but it does get most of the gunk. There are finer mesh ones available but they clog too easily.

Yip, that is what I use, I see it is called a mesh strainer, wife refers to it as a sieve.
