Long time no post.... I tried 'The Google' but it didn't give me any info.
I brewed a pilsner on Monday but when it came time to pitch, my starter smelled off so I tossed it and started over. So the wort has been sitting @ 33°F since brewing (~36 hours) and I plan to pitch the new starter when I get home. So basically the wort has cold-crashed and there is a 3-4 inch layer of trub at the bottom and I need a little extra headspace -- so is there any downside to racking the wort off the trub before pitching?
Thanks in advance.
