I made the beer below and only ended up with 4 gallons in the fermentor because there was SO MUCH TRUB. When I racked after cooling I got a good pint of sludge. I thought I hadn't whirlpooled enough but when it got to the end I saw the entire bottom of the pot was 2" deep in trub. Did I not vorlauf enough or is this typical with wheat beers?
Also, do you need to go slow with the runnings? I only took 3 or 4 minutes for the first runnings. Same for the 2 batch sparges I did.
5# 2 row
4.5# wheat malt
2oz Saaz 60 min.
1t Irish moss 15 min.
2oz Saaz 5 min.
I also think I need a hop bag. This wasn't a ton of hops but I can see that if I do an IPA I'm just going to increase this problem.
