How much wort do you usually loose when siphoning? I brewed a batch a few days ago and stopped my siphon when I started sucking up cold break/hop material off the bottom. I measured what was left behind and it was almost a half a gallon. Seems like allot of wasted wort to me. I have tried the swirling thing but have never seen the nice pile settle out in the middle of the pot like they show in the books. I was curious what others experienced for quantities of lost wort and any ideas on how to minimize it. I did not use a hop bag this time but think maybe I will use one from now on.
Thanks
