Just found this thread. Can't believe this has been active so long!! Do any of you live near Rochester MN? I'd like to try this world famous Hous Ale before I brew it. Cheers!

I have a screen attached to my drain spigot that hugs the side of my kettle. I start a good whirlpool and whirlpool it awhile. I get very little wort transfer that isn't clear. What you may be seeing is the cold break. Last batch I did a good whirlpool and just put the lid on my kettle and...
