well I've waited. it's been 20 days in the secondary and the hops haven't
settled to the bottom. *sigh*. Will they ever?
The majority of them have settled but there's still a 'film' of hops on the
top and lots of hop particles floating around in the beer.
What should I do next? should I just siphon and strain it through a sieve or
a cheesecloth?

Thanks

Roger
