Lots of cold break material in the wort

[mickeyt69]

Evening everyone i have just finnished a brew day, a pale ale for the summer and the yeast has been pitched for about 30mins i have just looked at it now ant there apears to be a lot of cold break material in the FV i usualy get some but this looks like it might settle 1 - 2" will this have an adverse affect on my brew or will i be ok racking to seccondry as soon as is possible??

Thanks in advance

Mick

Double drop.

What you can do tomorrow (assuming you brewed today) is rack it to another FV and you'll leave most of the trub behind. I do it EVERY time I brew. If it's less than 24 hours since you brewed, you can even re-aerate provided the yeasts aren't screaming along yet. They need all the help they can get if they're still in the 'lag' stage.

It'll still be primary fermentation, the only difference being that you have moved your wort/beer to a new FV. Brakspears brew that way as a matter of course - and Marstons Union is a similar exercise.

If you do re rack to another fv make sure you take the yeast with the beer or your fermentation could stop

Cheers wendy i think it should still be in suspension tomorrow (hopefully)

Any yeasties that are in the bottom less than 24 hours after pitching are probably not viable anyway.
