7:25PM - added No. Brewers hops to sparge bag.
Bittering and finishing with pelleted hops in a sparge bag seems to make very little difference as I'm still seeing that free-floating trub still makes its way into the wort.
O.G. - 1.064 (60˚F)
F.G. - 1.016 (60˚F) est. {1.022}
<-----EDIT----->
Bittering and finishing with pelleted hops in a sparge bag helped keep 2 C. of what looks like poop out of the wort. Virtually no trub!
<-----EDIT ON NOV 1ST----->
