I am trying to simplify my (extract) brew day. I have tried a few approaches but all have had their drawbacks. Using my hop spider blocks using the lid to get rolling boil, muslin bags let through lots of fine dust and particulates, and the mesh strainer over the bucket almost instantly clogs with hops.
So this time my plan is to just dump everything into the pot loose and let it swim free. After chilling, I'll simply gently pour the whole pot into the fermentation bucket which will be lined with a sanitized 5 gallon paint strainer bag then just lift out the bag. Basically, forget straining in the pot or during transfer and instead strain it right out of the bucket in one step.
Thoughts? Anyone tried this?
