Been reading on hot break now Im wondering if I have been screwing up. I boil my wort in a keggle, and then drain out of my keggle from a valve with a dip tube that goes to the very bottom center of the keggle. I understand the hot break has something to do with the proteins congealing and dropping out during the boil. Should I be trying to keep that mess separated from my wort when I drain into my fermenter? Basically I drain everything out of my keggle directly into my fermenting bucket, and then chill with my immersion chiller in my fermenting bucket.
