So I brewed an American IPA. It went smoothly until the point the wort was cooled and I was transferring to primary fermenting bucket. See, I didn't use a grain bag, (i will never do that again) so the grains broke down to tiny particles.
I used a colander and a strainer but they kept getting clogged up and I had to keep rinsing them out in order to strain properly (took forever). The point is, I don't think I aerated the wort well enough because after second day the fermentation, the foaming seemed to stop and all the top foam subsided the third day instead of increasing.
My question is, can I start again, per se? Is it possible to strain the wort into a pot, reboil it to kill any bacteria and existing yeast, cool it down and aerate wort well this time by vigorously pouring into primary fermenter, and finally re-pitch new yeast into it?
Cheers!
