Got the chance to watch a brew with a pro brewery recently. Have been doing BIAB for most of my home brewing career, but I did do some 3 vessel batch sparge brewing. I never really accomplished clear wort during my vorlauf and lauter routine. I’m pretty sure i rushed the process and left my recirc on too fast of flow. During the pro brew, watching the clarity in the sight glass during vorlauf Was awesome. I know this is common for standard 2/3 vessel brewing when vorlauf and lautering, but I never got to experience it first hand. This made me start thinking of how importance wort clarity maybe. I know plenty of people use BIAB but I can’t help but wonder does that additional cloudiness increase the possibility of pulling tannins or causing astringency? I’m considering going back to a 2 vessel setup and am trying to weigh the pros and cons.
I did do a very quick google search, but I didn’t read too far into it, so I apologize if this has been addressed many times before.
Thanks
