Hey Guys,
After crash cooling my wort (all grain) I syphon using an auto-syphon into my fermenter. Trouble is, I always seem to lose at least a few litres (4/5 of a gallon) to "trub". The trub is suspended in the wort so I stop syphoning.
Questions:
1) Is there anything I can do differently to make the trub "settle" at the bottom rather than remaining in suspension?
2) If I was to syphon more (or even all) of the wort with sediment in it into the fermenter, would it eventually settle out with the yeast cake? Would this adversely affect the favour/clarity/other qualities of the beer?
Cheers,
Eddie
