Sounds exotic!

I used to stay in an apartment that had one of those and it worked great. I used to brew straight from the tap without problems.

Thanks! After a few days now the "clumps" seem to be settling at the bottom or on the sides of the fermenter. I'll try to leave as much behind as possible when I transfer to secondary (for dry hopping and because I want to get it off any encapsulated trub). After secondary do you think a cold...

Hello Everyone, I'm new to HBT but I've been brewing for a while. Anyway, on 2 days ago I decided to up my clarity game and use Irish moss. With 5 mins left in the boil, I added 3 grams to 28litres of wort. I then chilled the wort down to 28deg C. I am not sure what Irish Moss is supposed...
