So today i took the plunge into AG after 3 months of brewing. Built my self a cooler MLT, an 8 gallon kettle with valve and a CF chiller. Used my old partial boil pot to prepare hot liquor, till. Can afford another 8gallon w valve. Hit my mash temp like a champ and only lost 2 degrees in 70 minutes! Ran off, double batch sparged, and began my boil. Today was a 5oz. IPA brew. So i flamed out connected the Cf and began filling the carboy. Next thing, NO FLOW! Clogged my homemade kettle screen(8 in stainless braid on a 1/2 male fitting into my weld on) wouldnt unclog, so i used my spoon to pop it outta place. CF chiller worked awesome brought my hooch down to 62 degrees no problem, but now ive got 5 gallons of hop clouded wort. Think itll settle out and taste ok after 2 weeks pr, 2 weeks sec with dry hop last 10 days?? Any tips on a better homegrown kettle screen?
