I have been brewing for over a year and a half now but still consider myself a beginner. A lot of my early brews I used hop pellets and threw them into muslin bags and pulled them at the end of the boil. Recently I started using whole hops and have been straining my beer when i pour into my fermenter. Last evening I brewed a Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Stout using Natural creamy peanut butter that I skimmed the oil off of over the past few days. When i went to strain the beer there was so much sediment that my strainer became clogged and I ended up with wort all over myself and my kitchen.
My question is when brewing these "thick" heavy sediment beers is it better to syphon the wort from the pot to the fermenter? Anyone have luck doing this? Is there any concern the syphon will become clogged?
