We're going to do a red ale which should be fairly clear. Recipe calls for 1 wirfloc tablet --- I've only used wirfloc once and I'm not sure it made sense. We also use an immersion cooler.
So last time I popped the tablet in at 10 minutes to go (this was a fairly light ale) and during cooling you could see the clumping etc. So here is where I get confused -- you're making things clump and fall out of solution -- but the wort is still in the brew pot -- so yuo need to pour it into the fermenter and then aerate a bit .... doesn't this just stir all that clumped up stuff again ?
Are you supposed to let the junk settle in the wort and then leave the junk in the bottom of the brew pot ?
Crap I'm confused
