Is Dumping the Bottom of a Cone Really a Losing Element?

Dean Obeidallah: From a home brew perspective, I wonder if dumping the cone from the bottom is actually a losing equation when it comes to sustainability. So maybe the strategy would be there is rack as much as you can out of your unitank or whatever. And then, but leaving a little bit behind to try to blast out the last little bit of the hop cone at the bottom so that you're not wasting a bunch of beer because you're not going to drink or reuse that beer once it's been oxidized in your collection vessel. "I think this really exposes the value of those hop tubes," he says.
