O.K I used pellets for the first time and tried the whirlpool technique I have read about on this site and others. I got a good whirlpool, in fact I couldn't get a better one without it spinning out the kettle.
Came back 40 mins or so and found the wort was only marginally clearer. I took faith and persisted and my faith was not rewarded. I now have a large amount of tub in my fermentor.
So this leads me to ask what to do during fermentation. The fermentation profile calls for a cold crash, so I was thinking of dry hopping in week 2, moving to secondary and colding crashing in week 3 or perhapes moving to secodnary sooner before the dry hopping.
Or should I just leave full alone and let gravity soley do the job? I am somewhat concerned with potential vegatal flavours, at the moment the fermatation is at 18.5 but I will be ramping it up to 21. I not sure the higher temp would be that great with all those hops siting beneath the beer especially for 2-3 weeks.
Advice please, Thanks
