Cloudy wort in fv

Post by Paddy1989 » Sun Jan 13, 2013 5:54 pm

Hi all iv just finished a brew today my problem is my hop filter fell out of its place in the boiler so I had to tip the wort into the fv I caught all the hops so will the beer clear out as it ferments. Many thanks paddy.

I did a couple like that when my hop filter clogged up on my previous setup. No perceivable difference in the beer taste or clarity.

It probably won't be the clearest beer you'll ever make, but yes, the process will deal amazingly well with what's happened.
Much of the debris could come to the top as the yeast rises and with care can be skimmed off although many feel you shouldn't risk contamination.
It happens.
Without patience, life becomes difficult and the sooner it's finished, the better.

It'll sort itself out. Break material in the FV is nothing to worry about.
Best wishes

I don't have a tap on my boiler, so always tip my wort through a sieve into the FV. My beers come out as clear as a bell.
