So I decided to use a Whirlfloc tablet in my latest batch. This was the first time, so I was not sure what to expect with it. I must say I was very VERY surprised at how much material was separated out.
Now here is the issue. I have a Blichmann boil kettle, and I find that the downspout for the ball lock valve and the probe for the thermometer make getting a really well developed whirlpool going next to impossible.
As a result of poor whirlpooling the sediment from the boil kettle pretty much all made it into my primary. Since I have not used this stuff before, can someone tell me how well it well settle to the bottom of my primary? I have sort of stopped racking into secondary, but all this stuff in the primary is making me itch.
I am going to let the krausen settle down a bit and then I am dry hopping, but I am not wanting to leave all this gunk in the beer.
