If it is ok to have the whirfloc residue in my fermenter then I can take my hop filter out as I syphon from above after cold crashing and can leave the whirfloc residue behind, can't seem to find a answer about if it's ok to have whirfloc in fermenter ?
I think the "clouds" you are seeing are not the effects of the whirlfloc tablet but the cold break proteins clumping together, if you did away with the hop bag the loose hops will act as an extra filter stopping a lot of the protein matter clogging up your filter, and as said try half a tablet./quote]
