I have read Papazian's Book and Palmer's Book and still am not sure I understand the "hot break" and "cold break"
I understand the idea that its basically protein coagulating. And why it happens.
The part that I do not get is when I am adding my wort to the carboy, if I am just dumping everything in the pot in.... why does it even matter?
Is it because the "break" is now (after the 2 breaks) larger and more coagulated and will simply drop to the bottom of the carboy?
[This is not about adding it all to the carboy - I know some strain and some do not - This is more about understand the 'breaks']
Thanks for any clarification.
