More Wort Filtering

So I brewed up some new beer yesterday. I based it on the recipe for Ruination IPA (just google for it, man). I tried the cheesecloth-in-a-strainer thing.

Here's the deal: There's way too much crud for a single sheet of cheesecloth to deal with.

So here's the plan for next time. I'm going to have TWO strainers, each with some cheesecloth. I'll use one at a time, so I can swap them out quickly. On top of the on in use goes my splatter guard, to catch the big stuff and make the cheesecloth last longer without getting clogged.

There's got to be a better way. Maybe strap the splatter guard to the top of the wort kettle, and then I can rinse it off from time to time?
