Hey folks,
Love the site and great feedback from everyone, thank you!
With that said, after my first brew day ever I have been going back over my process and figuring out what to do better.
I just now read up on whirlpooling so I obviously didn't do this on brewday, UGH! I pretty much took EVERYthing from the boil and put it in the fermenter. Is that going to be a problem? What will change, taste-wise, between this and whirlpooling to remove a lot of trub?
Right now I have about 2 inches of sediment on the bottom of my 3 gallon carboy, the fermenting wort is very cloudy but getting better every day and I am on day three of fermentation. The Krausen, which was impressive, disappeared after day two. There is no obvious activity from the airlock and I am using Safale S-04 which from what I read has a 24-48 hour typical fermentation time. I plan on leaving it in the carboy for 3 weeks at this point.
So really just a whirlpooling question...
What will be different/bad/horrible because I did not whirlpool? Taste? Nothing?
Thanks folks!
