Does it sound excessive to lose 1G of a 5G batch to trub loss?
I topped off my extract batch to five gallons in my bottling bucket after chilling in the kettle. The wort was strained between the kettle and bucket.
I lost probably 1-2 beers in that transfer after some settling occurred in the bucket and I didn’t want to move that sediment to the fermenter.
After fermenting I yielded 43 beers which is 4 gallons. Is it possible to lose 100+ oz of beer on trub loss?
This was safbrew be256 brewing NB petite orange which has a bag of brown sugar as a flame out addition. I assume that all became trub. It was in the fermenter 13 days, would waiting longer have yielded more beer?
Does the actual volume of wort to beer change through fermentation? It didn’t seem like I dumped nearly a gallon of trub but I guess it’s possible.
