Quick reply if you can...

Hi all,

Quick question, my BIAB wort is nearly down to 25C, when I will pour into an FV ready for yeast when it hits 21C...

My question, do I poor everything in or do I try and leave the heavy sediment behind in the pot?

I'm guessing I leave it behind, but dont want to screw it up now

Also, I forgot to add the Irish Moss... d'oh! Is there anything I can do or shouldn't I worry, and maybe add some finings later after fermentation?

Cheers

Johnny

forget about the Moss.

Pour all into the fermenter. strain if possible

 

[johnnyh]

thanks so much for that, I was thinking I should leave the gunk behind.

I'll pour all through a sieve lined with a hop bag to collect the crud and then pitch the yeast.

many thanks

That is break material and while you don't really want it in the fermenter but its not a disaster if it gets in.

:shock:

Not a brew in the bag brewer myself but if your talking about trub in the bottom of your boiler you do not want that in FV

I once had my hop strainer come away after boil, the whole lot got put into the fermenter via a strainer to remove as many hops as possible.
After fermentation the whole lot of trub had settled to the bottom of fermenter and the brew was racked off. It caused me no problems.
Of course you don't want it if possible

Well it's been double filtered through a fine mesh and all the hops binned and gunk slung out.

Yeast pitched and fingers crossed :)

on my biab i was left with 5l in the kettle after filling a 25l cube,

so i put the 5l of leftover dregs inc the white break material into a demijohn and fermented it ..it came out great,... :party:


it looked like soup.... but ya gotta try these things...

it dropped to be totally clear


here it is after a week....

 

[johnnyh]

that did look a little murky, but as long as it turns out good :party:

Must beers will clear with time, if it doesn't clear don't be put off. Put it down to experience.
