I currently use a pathetic immersion chiller that takes at least a half hour to chill my wort. I now have a 30 plate heat exchanger on order, but I was wondering about the affects of allowing the cold break material in my primary now that it's being produced in the heat exchanger.
I have been using a primary only system lately and racking to a keg after one to two months in the primary. Has anyone done any experiments between using the two methods as far as the additional cold-break material sitting in the primary affecting the flavor of the beer?
My concern is that the extra cold break proteins will give my beer an off flavor or will I need to start using a secondary?
