Keep Striking Out on Hop Flavor and Aroma

[duboman]

How much trub and hops do you guys let into your fermenter?

I transfer virtually no trub and hops from the boil into the carboy.

Misread the dry hop timing....

The only thing for me that gets in primary is cold break, ibises CFC and hop spider.

I don't strain my wort much at all. I do strain out leaf hops via a bazooka tube (or use a bag) because they will clog up my diptube and pump. I have a CFC, so I can't strain out cold break or pellet hops or hot break. I try not to transfer much "sludge" but I don't worry about it if lots gets in there. It settles out with the trub.

My beers typically spend 10-14 days in the fermenter, with any dryhops added about 5-7 days before packaging (and after the beer clears).
