    Damn I should've taken a picture but I whirlpooled while chilling last time and the wort was super clear so you could see right through to this perfectly spherical alien looking blob of cold break in the center. It was crazy.

    Cold break and open fermentation are perhaps my two favorite things in brewing (other than drinking the beer).

    I get that a lot of times even without whirlpooling. It looks more or less like a brain.

    You should be targeting a tighter more dense break. You will have less loss, and clearer beer. Depending on how cold you chilled, thats more likely just hot break though. To get good cold break you have to chill to around 40f.

    Lower knock out pH, and a kettle clarifier help a lot.
