Thanks for your %'s, getting 80-85%BHE is great, when i compare to my current results.
Ive been batch sparging for about 45-60mins after pulling the malt pipe, i whirlpool at the end and let it settle out and then tilt her forward and still left with 3.5lts of trub. i could take the trub and like mentioning before decant/chill and my % goes up.
I wonder if we could fit a curved hop blocker to the inside outlet and get more wort into the FV?
Sorry Pratty you make a good point: I forgot to mention I also sparge/rinse with 10 litres water after pulling the pipe/while ramping up to boil.
Not sure how you'd calculate that time wise.
I have a really big mash paddle which is ideal for whirlpooling which helps me reduce trub through very tight cone formation. It's the big SS one from KK if you're interested.
Another thing is I mill pretty fine - around 0.9-1mm. I reckon that should get you another few points too.
Yeah a hop blocker would be ideal, pretty hard to find something that's gonna filter out trub/hop pellet debris though.
I have recently been trying to figure out the best way to brew in the brau with my recently harvested flowers too.
