Hey Keat, what is that strange looking thing in your boil kettle... looks like some kind of hop filter ?
Does it work with pellets ?

That's a Hop Taco, home made version of the Hop Stopper. Take an oil-splatter screen, fold into half, crimp the sides and mount it onto your pickup tube. Works a treat even with pellets, wort comes out clear. Might help with your clarity issue even :icon_cheers:

Are you using copper NG?

 

[newguy]

Nope, the kettle is aluminum. It has built up a good, tea-like layer of who knows what that I can't get off without abrading the metal. No off flavours from it though as my brews keep collecting medals.

Try boiling a caustic solution should wipe off easy as then. Hit with some citric acid afterwards to get rid of caustic. I do this at work on our alloy pots works a treat.

Dr S,
do you tip your kettle up on it's side to get all the wort out?

Damn straight! Why leave any of the precious wort in the kettle :icon_drunk:

when its almost finished draining by itself i wedge a brick under the opposite side to the hop screen. When its almost drained again i lower the kettle even further by hand.

Only go to that extreme when using flowers/plugs. pellets turn to dust so i adjust losses and leave 2L behind

 

[Doc]

What does the boiler look like after transferring, when you have used a shit load of 100% Cocoa powder ?
A chocolate sludge fest.
