I have tried boiling hop pellets (in extract) for 5 mins a few times now, and when I tipped it in without straining, I got so many blockages in my bottle filler valve, I had to take the spring out of it, and let it dribble a lot between fills.
Then when I tried to strain it through muslin, it sat there in a big murky wet blob, and dribbled very slowly through the strainer. Even when scraping the muslin with a spoon, it slowed down to a drip. I had to put the rubber gloves on, and give it a squeeze.
Don't particularly want these little particles in my beer anyway
Perhaps cheesecloth would be better.
Any suggestions?
