So I brewed my first IPA yesterday - 6.5gal boil, and evaporated about 1.5gal. I chilled the wort and let it settle for about 3-4hrs before racking to my fermenter. I was only able to get about 3.5gal before getting a bunch of "crap" moving through the racking tube.
There was a lot of hop material at the bottom of the kettle, but then there was also a lot of cloudy stuff too. Could that be because I do BIAB and can't velourf (or whatever that word is) like can be done with a mash tun?
Also, when I go to dry hop, I'm gonna lose even more, right!? I'm gonna end up with so little beer, I don't know if I'll brew another IPA.
Recipe:
6.6lbs light LME
8lbs Pale 2-row
0.5lbs Victory
0.5lbs C-120
60min: 30g Magnum
30min: 15g Magnum
30min: 30g Northern Brewer
0min: 2oz Simcoe
0min: 2.5oz Cascade
dry hop 3oz Simcoe
dry hop 3oz Cascade
