I've bought a bigger sieve - it holds all the wet hops loose. Trouble is - now I realise I should have been chilling the wort (after aall this time!) and use a chiller, I have to sanitize everything, including the sieve. The hops do seem to sink now they're cold when I drop the wort into the fermenter. Hey! I’ve bought a bigger sieve – it holds all the wet hops loose.

It seems to work quite well, although you still have to make sure you don't get too many hops in it as it tends to get clogged quite easily. You could probably put the lid of your fermenter on and then put the funnel in the airlock hole so you don't have to have mum hold it. Btw, do the hops rise once the wort is cold or something? Our hops always seem to sink to the bottom. We use a funnel with a strainer in it for the straining.

I like the brewing vids - and now I know why there's the pokey hat! I suppose the advantage of using a brewing bucket instead of a glass carbouy is that any mess just dribbles into the bucket lid. Like mine did last night! Did you see on my vid all the hops that fell in when I was straining the wort? Must get round that somehow, the sieve I'm using is too small and I'm not terribly keen on using a bag for the hops - have you tried that at all? Hey!
