First post
Hi all,
After my first home brewing day Friday, here is my first post on biabrewer.info :)
I've made a search on the forum and couldn't find any post comparing the two methods : some biab brewers transfer all the wort to the fermenter, with the trub, others rack it and try to leave all the trub in the pot, and I think some people transfer all the wort through the bag or some other filter.
So what are the pros and cons of keeping the trub ? Is there a risk of having off-flavours ?
