So I brewed an IPA outside after work last night for the first time in a while. Since the temp was in the 30's and it was midnight by the time we finished up I think I was too tired and cold to think clearly. Which led me to pour the entire kettle into the fermenter with the hops, hot and cold break.
Since I realize this was dumb but it's too late to fix I've been thinking about what to do to minimize my mistakes.
I've been thinking that maybe I should let it ferment in primary until it stops bubbling, cold crash it, then rack it (off the huge amount of trub I expect to have) to secondary and bring heat back up to about 66.
I have a ferm chamber so temps aren't a problem. But does anybody have any experience with anything like this or have any other ideas on how to stop this beer from being an extremely hazy particle mess in the bottle???
