Anothre No-Chill Question

The No-chill (or slow-chill?) method has been in use for quite a few years now and I see that in the early days there was talk about added bitterness grassy flavours coming through in the final product due to the extra time the hops were getting in solution above 80c, I have even seen a couple of co...

Karl Strauss Pintail Clone (APA)

This was my first BIAB attempt last month. I got something wrong and my pre-boil volume was down a bit resulting in a higher gravity and ultimately a bigger beer at 7% ABV but it tasted great. Apart from working out my settings to get my volumes right I will also up the late and DH additions, the be...

That was the Karl Strauss pintail clone that I got some volumes wrong on and it ended up a bit bigger (7% ABV) than it should of. It tastes great though and I was absolutely stoked at the results of only my first try at BIAB, I am definitely hooked now. It could easily Cary some more hops up front o...

Yeah thanks Pete. I picked up on the problems related to putting a large hot object into the fridge on another forum last night, glad I worked that out before I did something stupid?! I will definitely be using the no-chill method when I upgrade to a bigger kettle (with a tap) soon as water availabi...

Oh, and here's how that 1st batch turned out looking like after only 10 days in the bottle and only 8 hours in the fridge ;)

Brilliant really.

And there was us thinking that they were just really great guys :think:

Thank you for the feedback guys. I only need to give it enough time to cool down in my brew fridge so I thunk I will take Joshua's suggestion, pour it all straight into the cube carefully via a funnel and then pour it into the FV the next morning (or later that night) through my sieve with plenty as...

Gday Mate I managed to squeeze 11lt VIF out of my 19lt pot by holding 4 or 5lts of the TWN back from the mash and then hot sparging with that held back volume pre-boil (pulled the bag, sat it in a colander over a separate pot and poured the heated sparge water over it before disposing of the grains ...

No-chill Question

I have now completed two small batch BIAB brews, the first turned out very nice even though I missed a few of my numbers and, the second is waiting patiently in the FV for me to get home and bottle her in a week or so. With both of these brews I chilled the hot wort in an ice bath in my laundry trou...

Brilliant. Have been reading through those threads and I'm definitely picking up what you are throwing down.

Cheers

Yep, back home for a couple of weeks including Easter which my little girl is very excited about, I was away for Christmas so she has had her heart set on Daddy being home for Easter. You are right, it was a very helpful guy on one of our local forums here in Australia. He is genuinely very helpful ...

I have been playing around with their Peroxide Punk session ale, reducing it down to a 10lt batch but have also been having trouble getting the numbers to line up. It has been suggested that the despairagy between the brew house efficiency listed in the DIY dog recipe and my own equipment efficienci...
