Made a Pliny the Elder clone last weekend with WLP-001. I dumped everything from the BK into primary and got about 4-5 inches of hop trub in the bottom (pic 1). Then when the yeast took off the beer turned green (pic 2). It is burning through fermentation. Thermostat probe reads 67-69 degrees but it’s been in my 55 degree basement. I have to go back to work tomorrow and if fermentation finishes while I’m gone I don’t want it getting too cold I still have to dry hop twice!
Should I try to rack to secondary before dry hopping and filter out that trub to keep as much wort as possible? I know keeping (some) trub isn’t a bad thing but I also don’t want vegetal off flavors. My wife (SWMBO) loves Pliny and if I make a beer she loves, she will May indulge in me improving my system.
