| May 14, 2013 at 12:10 | comment | added | GHP | Its hard to say. I mentioned the Irish Moss because it can't hurt. Actually a better idea might be to rack the wort into a temporary carboy for about 2-3 hours. Let it settle, then transfer the wort into the primary fermentor and leave behind whatever is at the bottom inch or two. That should cut down on that stuff getting into the primary. | |
| May 13, 2013 at 20:53 | comment | added | Nemis L. | Thanks! Will Irish Moss have any effect at all on this cloud material? We are considering filtering only the very last part of the chilled wort: we siphon off the cooled worth, and place a funnel with a filter at the end, when the wort turns cloudy at the bottom of the kettle. | |
| May 13, 2013 at 12:16 | comment | added | GHP | Filtering after the chill sounds like a pain. I'd do things like adding the Irish Moss, or using a finer bag for mashing, before I attempted to do sanitized filtering. Are you familiar with the concept of a "Hop Back"? This technique uses a vessel filled with hops to strain out material like pellet hops before the wort enters a counter flow chiller. Might be worth looking into as well. | |
