Protein settling question answer ASAP

[wshearer9]

So I brewed a Imperial IPA today and the protein won't settle I got it down to 60 degrees with my wort chiller and it hasn't moved. I just turned it off and should I turn it back on or just let it sit for a few minutes?

Answer ASAP

Just dump it all in your fermenter. It's fine, and there's some good stuff in that protein!

Ok but I thought that the worfloc tablet was supposed to get it out so you have clearer beer

Yes. It kinda makes it all coagulate (or however you spell it), but it doesn't get rid of anything. It just helps to separate. It'll all pack down nicely in the bottom of the fermenter if you dump it all in.


If you need to remove it due to space constraints, then let it sit for a while. Whirlpool it too so most of it collects in the middle. Then go out tomorrow and get a bigger fermenter. Yours is too small. Lol!

Don`t worry that`s normal. Just maybe use gelatin before bottling.

I dont see the issue here. Thats just cold break. It will settle to the bottom of your fermentor

 

[wshearer9]

Ok

It'll be fine. Plus, this is the wrong spot for this post. Should be in 'general beer' or 'beginners'

Dump the batch, in the fermenter

Like the king says, dump the whole lot into your fermenter. Everything will turn out just fine. Gelatin is optional later and most likely unnecessary.

Ok sorry about this placement here and ok

Eh, the mods will get to it I'm sure. Don't worry about it. Happy Brewing!

If you dont want it in the fermentor, pull out your hops and chiller then give it a gentle stir. Let it sit for 30 to 60min and it will drop to the bottom of the kettle then you can siphon clear wort off the top.

I have had that before. Just dump it all in. Here is a pic of one that I made that the proteins just stayed on top the whole time. Racked to the bottling bucket from underneath it. It was wonderful of the clearest beers I have ever made..

It will compact out leaving clear beer after fermentation

Ok thank you everyone for helping

Yesterday I listened to those that said to put it into the carboy and it looks very clear already and it dropped to the bottom of the fermenter.

That is great. When we start brewing we worry about everything. After a ton of batches. Guess what? I often forget about fementers. I pitch the yeast, set them in the fermentation chamber and then never look at them. They always turn out.
