Methods Of Straining Hot Break/hop Pellets

[clean brewer]

I just used a tea ball for the first time for this, just made a hole large enough on one side, then placed over the pick-up tube, worked pretty good, I had alot of trub, orange peel and cori seeds in the kettle this time... The cube looks clearer than normal or maybe its juist the Wit??

Take this reply with a grain of salt eh.
I have only done 3 ag biab brews in my 50L pot and whirlpooled them after flameout for no chilling. I get a good cone of trub/break each time and have got a pretty good clear runoff into the cubes.
My pickup was to far into the pot and I lost maybe 2L of wort, but have now fixed this so that the pickup is right at the bottom edge of the pot.
Tommorows brew will tell

Though I counter-flow-chill directly into my fermenter, but the whirlpool does prevent a lot of hot-break and hop material from getting into fermenter.

Yeah I do the same as John and it works for me
