I just brewed an all grain Fuller's ESB clone, which I racked to a corny this evening. I now realize that I need to refine my process of straining from the kettle to the carboy. I had a lot of trub at the bottom of the carboy and there were loose hops floating about. Well, I had a lot of difficulty racking to the keg. I use an orange carboy cap and push with CO2. I neglected to use one of those orange caps at the end of my racking cane. Every few minutes I had hop flowers plugging the racking cane. Unfortunately, I had a bit of splashing in the keg. Anyhow, my main concern now is how to deal with the hop remains in the keg. I would think that they will clog the beverage tube once it's carbonated and dispensed.
Any ideas on how I can prevent clogging?
And what is a good way to avoid this problem in the future?
Thanks!
