I have ended up with lost of hop pellet 'dust' in the FV with a wheat beer (currently about 2 inches deep, although still settling). When racking, I was hoping to use a filter over the end of the syphon tube to eliminate this from the final beer. Can anyone advise if there is a better way to proceed?
Cheers

Re: Removing hop pellets from FV
As Belter said, but as its a wheat beer clarity isn't going to be an issue.

Re: Removing hop pellets from FV
I'm guessing you already did something with this...
get a Tea-ball-Infuser and poke a hole in one half, stick the end of your syphon tube through and close the teaball, Chill your beer between 8c - 4c to settle the pellets properly then, carefully rack the beer off taking care not to disturb the pellet & yeast sludge at the bottom.
I do this for all my loose dry hopped (pellet or whole) beers, just remember to boil anything made of mesh for 20mins to sanitise properly.
