I know for some of you this is dead obvious, but after chilling the last BIAB batch I did ( A nice Dunkelweizen ), I pulled out the immersion chiller before running off my wort into the fermenter through my kettle ball valve.
As soon as I pulled up the chiller, clouds of kettle trub that had settled at the bottom were stirred up again, and as a result, I had to wait an extra 30-40 minutes for it to settle back down.
I immediately realized that I am dumb and that there is no reason I cannot run off the wort with the chiller undisturbed and avoid all that trub getting stirred up.
Hope this helps someone make clearer beer!
