Today, I've done my second partial mash brew. At the last moment, when transferring the boiled/cooled wort from my stock pot to FV, I decided to put the (now cleaned) BIAB mash bag into a sieve & filter the wort through it. The hops were in muslin bags in the boil so are not an issue.
It took a while with quite a thick sludge built up filtered out.
My thinking was that my first attempt was very cloudy & there were very visible cloudy matter in the wort which looked (to me) much better after this simple bit of filtration.
The question - have I done something dumb? Or is this a reasonable step to include.
TIA.
