OK, so my brewing partner and I decided to start using grain bags for the hop pellets to reduce the trub in the boil kettle and decrease clogging the manifold when draining.
Anyway, I believe I've noticed poor hop utilization in the last couple of batches we've tried this technique on. Thought: The bags limit the saturation of the hop pellets, thereby decreasing the utilization.
Previous batches rocked, including a couple of great IPA's.
Anyone out there use grain sacks to hold hop pellets? Anyone out there have a similar experience?
Thanks.
