Or will letting some trub in to hit volume rui the beer?

New to all grain. Just did my second batch a surly abrasive clone yesterday. Everything went great. Hit my mash temp spot on, hit my pre boil gravity and post boil gravity. However my trub loss was much more than anticipated. I use whilfloc so could irish moss work better?

Thanks all. Looks like mine will be oak. Thats why i love hbt. Always someone to help. Surly abrasive clone in the works.

Thanks for the response. Wasnt sure if the wood matters . Regarding sugars and affecting the mash. Gotta make a mash paddle now. 2nd all grain session wednesday.

Would aspen or poplar be okay for a mash paddle? Not sure what wood works. Cant find maple but dic find these boards.

I peed in my wifes closet also. Unfortunately she kept her sweaters on a rack by the floor.

Got a kegging system. I want to add gelatin to drop out the yeast. Will be dry hopping at 7-10 days before kegging. When to add gelatin? 2 weeks primary done just racked to secondary.
