If I do an extract + specialty grain batch, is there any significant benefit to whirlfloc?
Or is it primarily intended for all-grain?
Even if it helps make the beer marginally clearer, I'll try using it, because, why not? But if it does basically nothing, then ... well, I won't use it. lol
And a follow-up, I think my plan is to pretty much just dump the entire wort (post boil, after cooling) into the primary bucket, trub and all, rather than worrying about leaving the trub in the kettle.
If I do that, does the whirlfloc still do it's magic in the primary? Or is it only actually "working" during the end of boil and cold break, with the intent being to leave most of the sedimentation in the kettle?
