Hello homebrewers,

I have the Fastferment conical and I cannot seem to drain all the yeast and trub out. I did my best to filter EVERYTHING and I only wound up with about a half gallon of yeast. When I opened the valve a thick sludge of yeast came out but then a lot of beer and some yeast along with it. I tapped the edges and waited a day to let it resettle and the same thing happened. I cannot get clear beer or the rest of the yeast to fall and I already lost almost a gallon! Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Cheers
