First Partial Mash

[ih8lag]

I have been home brewing for about a year now and finally decided to make the jump from store bought kits to a partial mash.

So tonight i mashed, boiled and cooled...

Shortly after pitching and letting the wort settle down i already start to see some trub forming?

This seems awfully quick to me. Attached is a picture.





Did i screw something up and should make note for next time. I tasted the wort seemed nice and hoppy for what i was brewing. A rickards white clone from hopdawgs.ca

maybe you siphoned a lot of trub into the fermenter. i'd think about racking it after 10-12 days in that case

im a partial mash brewer myself. from the picture it looks to be fairly normal. the trub will settle out in the next day or so

Normal. Yeast will get active, stir everything up, and it will settle again.

Don't do this solely based on trub going into the fermenter. It's a non-issue in most cases. When I do AG 5.5 gal batches, all of the trub gets dumped into the bucket.

It all settles out in the end.
