The owner of MiniBrew, the company that makes the plastic conicals, suggested that I dump trub from the bottom valve just prior to pitching. I did this on an IPA and, surpisingly, did actually get some of the junk out. I didn't think it had sat long enough to separate but I guess it did.
Anyways, do you think dumping that soon is counterproductive to IPA as you are probably removing some of the hops? Do they continue to add flavor and aroma if you leave them in for a while?
I didn't get much hop aroma in the final beer but I also didn't dry hop it. I'm not sure which caused that; maybe both.
