hi there, i used kopperfloc for the first time last night and my results were bad.
usually i dont have any problem with break seperation however reading the write up,
better stability, shorter ferment time, clearer wort etc, i thought id give it a go.
the break was suspended throughout the wort once chilled(apprx 1 hour later).
i transfered to the FV and with lots of break going through decided to do a quick
clean up my boil pot, quick sterilise tipped back in and run it through my
wort filter which blocked up twice. the thing that i think may have been responsible was
the kopperfloc went in at 10 minutes, then i did a 5 minute hop addition(5g, 20 litre brew).
is this what made it go pear shaped? anyone elses experiences please.
