Has anyone tried this? I just brewed a 3 gal ag Pale Ale batch and tried to calculate for break loss. I still ended up with only 2.5 gallons. I've always wanted to throw some boiled/sanitized water in with the protien and trub in an attempt to reclaim that last bit of sugars to get another half gallon or so.
I can't see this being a bad thing except that it might throw my numbers off but it sure would be nice to fill my 3 gal keg I'm taking on a trip with 3 full gallons.
My last batch was a delicious 6 gal Hefe with a protien rest and I don't remember there being as much trub after the boil.
Has anyone "washed their protein break and trub?
Cheers!
