I am not sure how out of the ordinary this is but I was expecting more than 40 bottles. I now realize there will be some loss to trub but that much? I am not doing secondary fermentation or anything like that. Both were Ipa extract kits.I think I did a pretty good job of racking to the bottling bucket on both occasions.
I did do a general search and saw others posting the same or similar results. And the answers weren't quite clear. One person suggested that Ipa's will have more trub due to the extra hops. That does make sense to me but 40 still seems too low. I am topping off to exactly the 5 gallon mark on the carboy. My first batch came out pretty good. I am quite pleased with the results so no complaints there. Just bottled the 2nd tonight so I won't know for a while. Should I sweat this? Thanks
