I use a emersion chiller and now have started running it back to back with one in ice bath feeding one in wort. After reading some recipes I am wondering after reaching a temp below 80 degree should I rack the wort to a bucket. I have just been pouring it in allowing what settles in pan to fall in fermenter also. Seems after reading the recipes they are trying to leave this sediment behind.

I always try to leave as much break material behind as possible when I rack to my carboy. I don't really have a scientific reason for this. I just have a hunch that removing this material helps my beer some way. Maybe someone else can chime in with some real facts.

Cheers,
Dave
