Trub removal question???

[JCTM]

Hello to all

I keep reading about hotbreak/trub removal by whirlpool....is this really necessary if you have a false bottom in your BK?
In addition, if you are using whole (dried) hops wouldn't this act as an additonal filter bed?

In advance, thanks for any feedback!

Cheers

JC

If you have a false bottom, a whirlpool is not necessary.

I have been reading that a lot of brewers just dump the trub and hotbreak into their fermenters when making ales, lagers no.

I do this and have had no issues with it.

There is a thread on HBT talking about the benefits of leaving in the trub, helps the yeast somehow, I'm posting on my phone or I'd search for it.
