So I made a 1 gallon smash, fermented in a one gallon jar. This was made with malt extract and I was surprised how much trub and it did not pack down like in big fermenter. Due to this I only drew off a 6 pack because I wanted clear beer.
I have not seen this doing 5 gallon batches so I am wondering if the quantity/ weight of 5 gallons of wort makes a nice compact trub/yeast cake.
