I just started my boil of my Pliney the Elder Clone. 400g of hops for a 22L batch :super:
But in my planning, I anticipated a large loss to trub with all the hops, so I brewed extra wort to account for it. But my question is -
Where should I remove the trub?
Do I siphon all of the wort into my fermenter - trub, hot break and all and rack after the fermentation off the yeast and hop matter?
Or would it be better to Whirlpool as much as possible, avoid as much hop matter as possible and have a smaller yeast sludge after fermentation?
Or maybe it doesn't matter that much.....
