In go the hops:

The boiler and me doing our thing:

The transfer from the boiler to the FV.  Only a few bits of hop debris get through, but the sieve catches all the bits.

The trub in the FV after transfer in to a secondary vessel at 7 days:

In to the bottle after 11 days, and pintage three weeks later :)

The Styrian and EKG hop aromas comes through nicely.  Unfortunately some of the trub got picked up by the syphon so there's a little more sediment in the bottles than we'd hoped.
