Hey Forum Followers,
Just moved from BIAB to Full Mash All Grain. Made a 1 Gal Test Batch last night and was wondering how I can get rid of all the trub/sediment in my kettle after the boil is done. I'm using the same brew kettle as I used with BIAB and it does not have a spigot. Therefore, I transfer the cooled wort to my primary fermenter using a large funnel with a screen in it. The screen gets plugged up with gunk and makes the transfer difficult. Not sure if this trub is from my pellet hops or maybe I'm crushing my grains too much. Used an old school grain mill for this batch and it worked well for BIAB. I have a new grain mill ordered but if this excess trub is from the hops, then grain mill won't matter. Should I use a hop sack or is there any need to worry about it? Thanks for any help with my trubles
