I use this helix to filter the boiled wort hop pellets thrown directly into the boil.

Finally I've listened to all the advice given and transferred my Young's AIPA into the bottling bucket last night with no dramas 
Cold crashed for 24 hrs during which I gave it a few taps to encourage the hop debris off the top of the beer, fridge got it down to about 1°C and I could see a nicely compacted layer of hop material on the bottom. Siphoned out using one of these (eBay siphon filter):
No clogging, all of the beer into the bottling bucket, result!
Only annoyance was discovering one of the bottles I'd used had a damaged neck when I came to cap it so not wanting to risk drinking broken glass I chucked it. I hate throwing away any beer
Many years of brewing but still learning... :tinhat:

I have on occasion broken the lip of a bottle when popping the cap off. Rather than throw away the contents I've filtered it through a coffee filter.

I read you could do that whilst Googling in desperation to save it
Only problem being it was late, I had no clue if we had any coffee filters anywhere, and I wanted to go to bed. In retrospect I should have lobbed it in another bottle anyway, marked it and dealt with it later.
