When you can't let that last bit go...

[Rwilts]

I have always had an issue with leaving any wort or beer behind when transferring, don't know why I make plenty and drink little but everything goes from boiler to cube everything from cube to fermenter and absolutely everything from fermenter to bottle or keg, but today I have outdone myself having run out of bottles, one short

 

[Stu]

Yeah, I'm the same. I just can't let it go.

We all used to be tight. No we are environmentally friendly

 

[Nicks90]

No, I'm just tight. The last really soupy dregs from the kettle get poured in to a clean 2l pop bottle and left overnight, so I can gently pour off the last 1/2 pint of wort in to my fv
And I have a wedge for bottling day that I stick under the fv so the very last of the beer is in the corner for my Syphon tube to suck up
And the very very last 100ml I can't get, gets swirled about to resuspend the freshest yeast from the trub and gets poured in to a bottle for reusing the yeast in another brew.

My trick is to tip the mash tun and wedge the dog blanket or the Mrs best cardy under it to get every last drop.

I do this too with the AIO - except I use the tub of protafloc to give it just the right angle. I get an extra pint or so out of the kettle

Tubs of protofloc are a precarious venture! If dog blankets or knitwear isn't readily available at a pinch you can use her coat or bundle of freshly washed tea towels.

 

[Nicks90]

You mean you don't just pick the kettle up and empty the whole thing? I shake it like it's owes me money just to get the last drops out!
Wow, sooooooo wasteful guys, so wasteful
