My last two brew’s I’ve disconnected the top white valve a day after adding clarifier. After adding the clarifier, give the main beer bag a few squeezes to get it in the mix. Then give the clarifier a day to be sure it’s fully engaged. After that, disconnect the top to keep any crud in the top tub out of the “good” beer. Finally, give it another day or two to get as much fallout as possible in the waste bag.
The first time I did this I actually removed the top tub completely…but then thought it might have a sensor that relies on the pressure (or something else?), so I put it back in, but did not reconnect the top white valve. ANYWAY, I know this might be a very subtle thing, but surly it would help make the beer cleaner.
Thoughts?

Are you doing this in addition to using the hop filter? I don't find a ton of sediment up too just using the hop filter but sounds interesting, plus would make it easier to wash and have ready to go immediately after kegging the bag when it's ready.

Yes, I am also using a hop filter. Even with recipes that don’t have a lot of hops there’s still a fair amount of waste in the tub. Like I said it may be minimal gain, but so far I don’t see a downside.

I have no idea, but sounds reasonable? The beer should basically be done at the point you're disconnecting so I see no harm. I've pulled my bags a few times right when crash starts and put the bag in the tap so I could get another brew going. Can't see that what you've done is much different bag wise.
