Equipment and Software / after boil will a bazooka tube filter pellet hops "goop" or get clogged?

after boil will a bazooka tube filter pellet hops "goop" or get clogged? I used to always use leaf hops and poor my wort through a colender. I prefer this because it helps to cool my wort, aerates it to some extent and filters out the leaf hops wonderfully. but for the last year I keep having to use pellet hops and I hate them. they leave behind so much sludge. I am looking at a megapot with a bazooka tube on the inside, and has a ball valve outflow on the bottom. My question is has anyone used this to filter this sludge and keep it out of the primary fermenter. if so does it work well or just get clogged up? I would also appreciate any suggestions for other ways to keep the pellet sludge out of my primary.  Thanks

Extract/Partial Mash Brewing / Re: Locating English Pale Malt Extract

Just logged on as a new member. oddly enough I am trying to make a sweet stout from the same book. my purpose of getting on today was to ask the question, " Where can I find English pale ale, LME." I have read through all the postings and apparently there is no specific answer, yet. hopefully someone will be able to make a reccomendation. Gold, Amber, pilsen, organic light? ?These are out of NOrthern brewer, would they work. Muttons has a light LME and it is made in the UK. Would this be better. Please help. My recipe is on p 167 in brewing classic stlyes by jamil. Thanks
