Brewed my first batch yesterday, the AHS Promotional Amber Ale which required steeping crystal malt followed 7lbs amber extract upon boiling. I followed the directions they included but did a late extract addition and due to a 11 month old son, lengthened the partial boil by about 10 minutes. Anyways, after getting the wort cooled down, I whirlpooled and siphoned to the primary from the side of the brewpot...only problem is that there was no trub or break on the bottom of the pot. The carboy has a solid 2-3 inches of trub on the bottom now, just curious if I did anything wrong? I didn't wait that long after I whirlpooled it, only when I noticed the whirlpool had stopped. Any ideas?
