I have a 10 gal megapot with a false bottom. I leave the false bottom in for the boil and use mostly hop pellets. I have a pickup tube installed but when I drain into the fermenter I leave about .75 gal. behind. I have attached a photo of 1/2 gal that was left behind. As you can see the false bottom does not catch a lot of the finer hop matter. The second photo shows how it settled after a day.
My questions is should I just be dumping whats left in the brew pot into the fermenter or leave all of this behind? Or use another filter? I have a fine mesh filter that goes in a funnel but it clogs up right away when i try to pour this through.
Also is all of that trub just hot break or is it also coagulated proteins? I use a whirlfloc tablet.
Cheers
