I recently did a 10 gallon batch of Hazy NEIPA.
I fermented at 67F under ~8 psi in my Unitank.
After I hit terminal SG (1.013), I cold crashed at 35F for two days.
This is the first time I used the spunding valve to ferment under pressure.
Normally, after two days of cold crashing and I can easily remove the trub and spend hops through the bottom valve. The waste normally comes out thick (almost like green sausage). This time I did not get that level of compaction and I wasted too much beer trying to separate the waste from the beer.
I was wondering if it was due to the carbonation and if there was something I could do better next time.
Thanks
