Do you get more utilization from loose hops rather than bagging or does it matter?
I use a 5 gallon paint strainer bag that I clip to the lip of the pot.
This is what I do. If the recipe has just a small amount of hops I just toss them in. But a big IPA with a ton of hops gets the paint strainer bag.
Anyone ever burn hop material on their element?

I use an 8" dia. 300 mesh SS hop basket from Arbor Fabricating. Works great ann is easy to clean. Plus, no hop gunk in my wort to clog up my CFC.

Using a hop bag does reduce utilization according to what I've read. I recently started using a homemade hop spider with a 5 gallon paint strainer bag. It contains all the hops and allows the hops to swim more freely than a smaller hop bag.
