hops question

[geek_chaser]

I was reading that its better to remove the hops before fermentation. How many people do this and how would you suggest going about it?

 

[Yooper]

I don't, but if you wanted to I suppose you could pour the wort through a sanitized strainer?

 

[stpug]

Pour your wort through a painter strainer and into the bucket; or through a painter strainer and through a funnel into your carboy. This is the low-tech method.

There are various other more high-tech solutions as well.

I think what I might do then is get the same kit and try straining it before pitching the yeast and see if I like it more or if I'm going to leave the hops. Apples to apples.
