Hello,
Last year, I brewed a Kolsch that ended up winning a homebrew competition despite the amount of trub that was present in the bottles. The flavor was not affected, but I didn't pour the cloudy mess into any tasting glasses. This year, after using a secondary fermentation bucket and letting it sit for about a week before bottling, about 60% of the trub from the last batch was missing, but there is still a good amount present in the bottle. This is the only beer I have had this problem with, and I was wondering if anyone could suggest a way to eliminate the trub all together, or at least minimize it to the standard amount that is found in most homebrews. Thanks for reading and for any advice you may offer.
