Smashed Crabs Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 When you transfer from cube to FV after you cubed hopped for say 18 hrs do you just run it directly to your FV or pass it thru a sieve / hop spider? I ran mine today thru the spider and was surprised at how much matter I caught! Iv bad excess trub issues in the past an just after tips to reduce it. The spider today definatly did! And didn't cost litres of left over wort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer Baron Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I would definitely run it the the sieve or hop spider. It will catch the crap and help introduce a bit of oxygen into your fermenter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Captain!! Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I don’t tip mine out, I rack mine off using a auto syphon and I take it from the high centre bit of the cube. Leaves most of the hop matter and cold break behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Yeah I run it through two sieves, one after the other. I'm gonna go find a really fine mesh one one day that I'll use for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gullys Brewing Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 The k you. this has been in issue of mine, I just shrugged and went well this has to be it. I finally have a hop spider so next brew I'll dump my wort through that. Cheer lads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I usually use taps on my cubes too, so when I move them into position to drain to the fermenter, I just leave them sit there for half an hour or so to allow the stirred up trub from moving to mostly settle out again. Easier than picking them up and end up with more wort and less crap in the fermenter this way too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashed Crabs Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 Yeah I tapped and ran about a metre of 13mm clear hose to transfer from bench top thru the spider into the FV on the ground. Set up / opened valve then poured a beer came back a few minutes later was done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
