Hi guys, I brewed my first NEIPA two weeks ago and kegged yesterday.
When I was transferring the beer I accidentally sucked up a nice amount of trub and hop particles (I'm guessing around a cup) and obviously when I poured me a glass it had a lot of hop particles and probably a nice amount of yeast. It has enough hop particles for it to be much less pleasant than it could have been. I am wondering how to go about fixing it.
Should I just let it be for a few days under cold temp so everything will drop down and then toss the first pour or should I keep taking out small amounts and shaking the keg about once a day in order to really make sure all the trub is out of there? Because if you notice the bottom part of the keg, there is a small circle area which is lower than the rest of the keg and I was thinking that trub will also surround that area and maybe some of the trub will come out in every pour instead of all of it coming out at once. That will make the beer lose much of its thing. I mean I know NEIPAs are supposed to be hazy, and trust me, it's VERY hazy, but I don't want to actually have hop particles in my glass.
Any suggestions? I would highly appreciate it !
