Hi All,
I have recently started to use the BIAB method for all grain brewing.
This weekend I made a 5 gallon batch of doppelbock.
It is extremely cloudy.
I used 1 tablet of whirlflock with about 4 minutes left in the boil. I used a hop bag.
Chilled from boiling to ~80* in less than 10 minutes.
I whirl-pooled the chilled wort with my mash paddle/spoon and let stand for 20 minutes.
The cloudy wort only settled a couple of inches.
I dumped everything into the fermenter and brought it down to 40*.
Now there is 4-5 inches of cloudy material on the bottom of the fermenter.
I'm not sure if it will adversely affect the beer or not.
Can I filter the wort on the way out of the boil kettle and into the fermenter?
Will this cause any issues? Not recommended for any reason?
I was planning on purchasing a filter to filter after fermentation and on the way into the keg.
