Hello All,
has anyone got any ideas to how stop the hop debris I get when transferring wort from my kettle to my fermenter? The kettle has a pick up tube at the side of the kettle about an inch from the bottom. When I remove my immersion chiller I have tried whirlpooling, but the wort transferring into the fermenter has heaps of hop crud. Also, I am using hop pellets. Maybe, I haven't whirlpooled properly, what is the correct way? Would using a large hop bag help or maybe a stainless steel strainer to strain the wort as it is transferred to the fermenter. The hop pellet debris is very mushy and I think it would block any sort of hop stopper or strainer mounted on the pick up tube. Any ideas or suitable suggestions appreciated.
Thank You.
