Is this normal?

[Tommyb52]

I'm brewing this right now using this recipe-https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f70/bee-cave-brewery-bavarian-hefeweizen-35679/ and have these little floating things that look like strips of cardboard. Is this normal for this all grain? Maybe I didn't vorlauf clear enough? Is a whirfloc tablet needed(but this is a Hefe)? Thanks,

Tough to tell. Is that your boil kettle? Looks kind of like break material.

The quality of the pics are way below normal I know that.

looks like the boil. also looks like hot break to me. I always strain when I transfer into my carboy. it'll be fine.

If you are boiling, yes.

Hot Break guaranteed. I had exactly the same wonder about it the 1st time I all grain brewed but after a quick google search it put my mind to rest.

Like said above just strain the cooled wort as you rack it into your fermenter

Looks like hot break but more importantly the boil isn't strong enough, a better boil, will I think clear this up.

I don't even bother straining. It all settles out at the end of the ferment and the beer will end up clear.

I've done a few without straining. they came out perfectly fine as well. just one of those personal preferences.:rockin:

Thanks for the responses. The pic isn't so good probably due to it being taken on a Blackberry(not the best phone). It was boiling and my stove was on full blast and it boiled over onto my stove top. Forgot to line the stove top with tin foil to help with the clean up of such a mess. All went well,pitched yeast @ 62 deg. and it's in my basement @ 64 deg. now. I will raise the temp. slowly after the 1st week in the primary because I heard Wyeast 3068 could produce too much sulfur smells.
