I don’t worry about the mash runoff being clear, just the wort into the fermenter, for the most part. Even then, it’s not a huge deal to me. If I am going with a HERMS, I get very clear wort from the mash, but just as often, I just do A BIAB mash and stir a few times during the mash, accepting the run off as it comes from the mash tun after a short vorlauf (or not). Cheers!
