As Agent has said trub is not generally a issue as it should settle out but as you have said it's not the clarity that's a issue it is the loss in the FV.
A lot of brewers just tip everything into the FV and it usually settles as I have said earlier but I am from the school of less crap in less to settle in the first place, using a veg bag is fine but it will collect until it clogs so if there is plenty of trub it will soon slow the flow through it. When I use the sieve at least you can stop the flow and empty it with a quick upside down tap or even flush it through with a tap.
For some reason I rarely get a issue nowadays and I am sure you will eventually as you perfect your process but until then sieve/bag will help if it please you

[QUOTE="The Baron, post: 1264601, member: 8452"] As Agent has said trub is not generally a issue as it should settle out but as you have said it's not the clarity that's a issue it is the loss in the FV. A lot of brewers just tip everything into the FV and it usually settles as I have said earlier but I am from the school of less crap in less to settle in the first place, using a veg bag is fine but it will collect until it clogs so if there is plenty of trub it will soon slow the flow through it. When I use the sieve at least you can stop the flow and empty it with a quick upside down tap or even flush it through with a tap. For some reason I rarely get a issue nowadays and I am sure you will eventually as you perfect your process but until then sieve/bag will help if it please you athumb.. [/QUOTE]
