First all grain batch from a kit. Need answers.

Post by Maccan Man » Sun Mar 26, 2017 9:28 pm

Looking for some info, did a Best Case Kit and it is now racked in the Carboy. I still see some small pieces of hops floating in the Carboy. My question is will this settle with time before bottling I have about 3 or 4 days before bottling? Is there a good way to filter it out?

No need to worry about the hop debris. When you rack to your bottling bucket be careful not to disturb the sediment at the bottom of the carboy and then give it some time in the bottling bucket to settle. Also gives your sugar more time to get distributed around the bottling bucket. 30 minutes should be plenty.

It should settle even though it has already been racked to the secondary already?

They may drop out with time, you can leave it longer than the 3-4 days you have left. Is it floating on top? If so when you rack to the bottling bucket just rack from underneath it.

Yeah there is a bit on top, not a huge amount. I was kind of thinking it should stay there if I am drawing off the bottom underneath it.
Thanks for the help guys I appreciate it!
