Cold Break in FV, any advice.
Re: Cold Break in FV, any advice.
Hi I am new to forum, I have mashed in the dim distant past and fancy doing it again. But correct me if I am wrong but I thought you left the Hot Break in the boiler and the cooled in the fermentor. Or do people recomend racking off again before fermentation??SiHoltye wrote: Only trouble is the hop strainer (H&G 10G kit copper manifiold) blocked. I had to swirl the contents around continually to get the wort to pass out. Consequently I am sure I have a load of cold break in my FV. I didn't think fast enough to let it settle again and rack from the first FV into another but have pitched the yeast and am now wondering what might happen? Is skimming gonna remove much of the break material? Am a bit peeved 'cos this was to be ready for Xmas and a rebrew would really be cutting it fine.
Any thoughts or advice most welcome.
