I brewed a Nut Brown yesterday and my ball valve sucked up trub. I saw it happen so i sanitized a hop bag real quick and put it on the end of the tube going into the primary. It seemed to catch alot of the hop material but i think break material (maybe even some specialty grain from my steep) might have oozed through?
This was the first time I used the weldless ball valve on my kettle. I readjusted my diptube for next time. (It curves down and to the side more now) Plus I don't think I got a good whirlpool going or didn't wait long enough for it to settle because I just didn't have a good pile as I did in my last brew. Anyways, I pitched and it seems to be doing ok (airlock is going). I just don't know if I should transfer to a secondary as soon as fermentation slows or just wait it out and see if it affects the taste.
Thanks
