Hi, I am after some advice about draining wort from the kettle to fv. I have recently got in to home brew again after a long break and did my first non-kit brew last weekend. It was the Elderflower Ale extract recipe from the revised Home Brew Beer book by Greg Hughes. I am using a homemade boiler (plastic bucket with kettle elements and a copper pipe with slits cut as a filter for draining via a tap), everything went well until it came time to drain the boiler into the fv. Immediately the tap was blocked, I had to resort to constantly agitating the wort to get a trickle and as the level got lower I had to lift the boiler and shake it until I drained 22 litres of wart (1 litre down on my target). Upside is I got a well agitated wort in the fv but the downside of a hell of a lot of trub. It’s fermenting well and smells good but a few weeks until I can pass judgement on it. I am keen to do my next brew but need to resolve the blockage issue. I have looked at hop spiders but a lot of people report loss of hop flavours and bittering. Wondering if a muslin bag might be better. I appreciate any advice you can offer. Thanks.
