First time using whirfloc, loved it!!!
I used to use Irish Moss with ok results. I was very surprised with the amount of break in the kettle (much, much, much more than with IMoss).
Does anyone make allowances for this? By that I mean adding more water to the boil, or allowing the wort to settle longer. Currently I whirlpool and let it sit 10 Min before siphoning to carboy; but still I was left with way too many precipitates.
Let me know what you guys are doing, I feel like I lost about 3/4 of a gallon of wort because I stopped the siphon when I got down to the break/sediment. I boil 6.5-6.75 gallons (full boil).
