So I've made a few batches now and I've learned, as I'm sure everyone has, that like Tom Petty says, the waiting is the hardest part.
So I have found a solution that fits for me. Probably doesn't fit for everyone, but for me it is awesome.
When I get my 48 or 50 beers 12 oz, right when you're getting down to the nitty gritty trub, I take out a bomber. Then I tilt the bucket and get as much of that precious juice as I can.
I usually get the bomber 1/2 to 3/4 full, and it'll be full of trub too. Don't be scared.
Wait a week then throw the trubby bomber in the fridge. It won't be as good as it will be, but you'll love it still. Home brews for me are like home cooked meals. Nobody else will usually appreciate them as much as you do, so if that lil guy is a little cloudier than the rest, you won't mind. You'll love it all the same. You get your fix, and the batch you'be been preparing stays safe.
The problem though is...I bet ya can't have just one.
