Alright, so are you bagging the racking cane like Bottomland suggested?


I've never filtered. I have cold crashed when I have room in the fridge, but more often than not, I don't have room.

As long as you're careful about how you rack using the autosiphon, you can keep most of the stuff out. Hold it above the level of the trub/yeast cake until you're almost done, then carefully lower it without disturbing the trub for the last bit.

Anything that does make it in will fall to the bottom once the beer is chilled, be it keg or bottle. I may get a couple of cloudy pours at the beginning of a keg, but it really clears up nicely after some time in the kegerator. The same thing will happen with bottles, you just have to pour a little more carefully.

Just wanted to share my set up with y'all. I've been brewing since last summer, I brewed 12 batches (a few 10 gallon batches but mainly 5 gallon) with a regular propane jet burner. When I started I knew I wanted to look into electric brewing so I almost immediately began planning an e-brewery. After about 6 months of planning and ordering parts and building my panel and keggles I finally brewed my first electric batch (5 gallon Saison) a couple of weeks ago. I brewed my second batch (10 gallons of my "house" IPA) this afternoon and I'm loving this new system. It's an e-herms system with 3 keggles and two pumps. Anyway, here she is:



I've completely caught up on this thread and there's definitely some good, knowledgeable folks that post here. I'm looking forward to hanging around and learning a thing or two.
