much trub in bottom of pot with all extract full boil?

[jimlin]

I've got a new 9G SS pot which does not have a ball valve outlet. Planning an all-extract hefe brew this weekend and wondering if I should bother trying to whirlpool, use a siphon, or just pour it into the fermenting bucket from the pot. Will likely use a hop sack for the bittering Hallertau pellets (the only hops in the recipe). Does extract leave a lot of trub in the brew pot, or is it more from all-grain?

Interestingly, I brewed this exact thing a week ago. I just threw my hop pellets into the boil and used a strainer to remove them as I poured into the ferm bucket and carboy. Extract certainly leaves some break material, but nothing near the amount I've gotten in my recipes that used grains.

As for leaving it in or removing it, I'm pretty sure JZ and Chris White kinda go back and forth as to whether it could be helpful for the yeast to have a little hot break in the fermenter, or if it even matters. I try to strain what is easy and just leave the rest. I just pulled a hydro sample and tasted it last night; real nice.

So to answer your question: extract doesn't leave a lot of break material, but it does have some.
