had a question regarding cold break using the Foundry, asking for observations.
Background, dunno how much is relevant, so I'll just blurb it:
- I'm using a 6.5, and fermenting in 5gal kegs with fermcap.
- I MAIB, and usually do at least one sparge to get my kettle volume. I am also an unabashed bag-squeezer.
- My hops sit in a spider, and I do not have a pump.
- I stir with a spoon while chilling, and the spider does a pretty good job with the big bits.
The diptube on the spigot can pull from near the bottom of the kettle, I run it directly thru a sanitized mesh funnel to the ferm-keg.
I didn't see a point where to stop so as to avoid excess break going into the fermenter, so on two successive AG brew days I've ran the kettle almost dry.
How is this looking for you out there? I thought I'd see something, but perhaps I missed it?
