Philip,
Hop screens in a boiler are a waste of time. A piece of 12mm copper tube suffices and drains every last drop from your boiler.
cheers

Yeah, but I like the part where the hops get screened off...
I also think that tipping my kettle, whilst it is still draining will help to collect the majority of the 3 litres that is pooling in the kettle. If there is any left over, I will just scoop it out and strain it (like others here do) and use it for starters.
Thanks for all your help guys.
As for the glitch in beersmith, I will be setting my loss to 0, my deadspace to 0 etc and just do a 23 litre batch. That way I have a better idea of the gravity, boil off and IBUs
