      Late Wort Hopping
      
      There is a way to add Hop bitterness, Flavor, or Amorma AFTER the Boil is finish.
      
      Below is the data about the Most Important Hop Oils used in BEER Brewing.
      
      Essential oils
      Alpha acids
      
      The alpha acids are the hop components most familiar to home brewers. Every package of hops sold to homebrewers indicates the alpha acid percentage to allow the brewer to calculate the bitterness he or she wants in the finished beer. The alpha acid percentage represents the amount of the...

      well a blind tasting is in
      
      I had 4 guys do the test, each had 4 beers in front of them, labeled a, b, c, d. they were actually just 2 beers, both a simple blonde ale, when the mash was finished the wort was separated into 2 pots. Now one was hopped right away and the other hopped when the boil started. no finishing hops were used.
      
      2 of the guys were able to match the correct beers, of those 2 they stated that the one which was FWHed was smoother. they did not know what the difference was.

      Scott, that is enough of an answer for me to do it.
      
      I do many pilsners and lagers, I prefer lagers over ales and my favorite beer style is a Marzin/Vienna.
      
      I am not saying I do not do ales, I do about half and half because there are many ale styles I like.
      
      But reading about FWHing it appears the style would work great with light lagers, and for some reason heavy ales like Scotch ales. where the bitter needs to be really balanced
      I was going do a continental lager this Saturday but I did not...

      Good Day, When I No-Chill there is always around 1L-2L of wort in the trub.
      
      I now use a fine strainer to seperate the trub from the hot wort, then cool the wort to 18C. It is really easy to chill 1-2L.
      
      I then add my yeast to the cooled wort, and when it starts working, I place it into the 'Fridge. Covered with some plastic film. This slows done the growth.
      
      The next day or so, when it is time to frement, I remove the starter from my 'Fridge , Warm it to the wort temperature, and Pitch.
      
      The...

      I'm planning out two identical grain bills of Stout to ferment at the same time in separate F.Vs. both with Wyeast Irish Ale 1084. One Pride of Ringwood, the other Fuggles.
      I've only used a smack pack once before (whole thing all in), and wanted to split this one for the two starters using 1L of post boil/pre no chill cube wort from each of the batches I'll be fermenting. O.G is 1.047, so I'll dilute a little down to 1.040.
      I like the idea of using the same wort it's going into and wanted to...

      Scott, you would be more apt to tell with your two brews than with my Dead Guy really. Dead Guy for me is about malt forward, low IBU. I can't distinguish anything coming from the hops. Once I brewed it with a 54 IBU and the hops were more up front and I enjoyed that batch.
      
      Please follow up when you have finished beers :)
      
      I think the only way to find out about the Rogue hops is to jump the fence on night ;) , but it's just their way of making is sound something more than it is.

      I'm probably one of the lucky few that actually has enough space at home to fit a 3 vessel contraption, but why do it?
      There's no way I can justify the money and time spent cleaning when compared to my BIAB set up.

      Pat, those who have not learned mashing, this is a good Example of what it means.
      
      How many trials preformed is an important question.
      
      There a have only been a few of our Members that have Mashed for a LONG time, and measured the Gravity, only Todd Hughes posted mash data to 106 minutes.
      
      It does Show, the Gravity is mostly Finished between 60 and 90 minutes, and that after 90minutes the mash is still going, and while Gravity does not Increase, the fermentability does.

   7. Gelatinization Temperatures and Why

      Gelatinization Temperature Chart
      
      Starch gelatinization causes Starch to quickly break down to Amylopectin and Amylose, which are both long-chain carbohydrates.
      Then Alpha-Amylase, By acting at random locations along the starch chain,
      break down the long-chain carbohydrates, ultimately yielding maltotriose and maltose from Amylose,
      AND maltose, glucose and limit dextrin from Amylopectin.
      
      Because it can act anywhere on the substrate, Alph-Amylase tends to be faster-acting than...

      Yes, there are Quick Oats, Flaked Oats-Wheat-Barley-Corn , and Torrified Wheat,
      
      Corn Meal/Polenta /Breakfast Corn Flakes are Much more available and Cheaper than Flaked Corn.
      
      Raw Oats/Groats have Much Better Flavor than Rolled/Flaked Oats.
      
      Dryed Barley has A great flavor, that is Lost when Malted.
      
      And for a DRY Pilsner, 30%-40% Cereal Mashed Rice is a way the make Lite beer.

   10. De-Hulling Grains - Barley

       There has be Discussion on using De-Hulled Malted Barley.
       
       The Husks Provide most of the Color that Wort has. But, BIAB uses a bag, not a Mash tun, so do we Really need Husks???
       
       If you have an old Corona Mill, there is a YouTube video on how to convert that Mill to a De-huller.

       Good day, I just recieved an E=mall from Breiss Brewing.
       
       The Malted Barley Flours are WHOLE Grain.....Husks and All. They used for Baking Products.
       
       We can grind our Grain to Flour, and Make Bread and Pizza crusts, too.
       
       The flour won't work for BIAB, or even 3 vessel brewing.

       MS, The Current Belief is From Flame out to 175F you will have 20%-25% utilization, and some have said another 15% down to 160F. But this is only the Bitterness utilization.
       
       Some say the Aroma is strong above 140F, so keep the Lid ON until you CF chill, or transfer to the No-Chill Cube!!
       
       Ps. The Flavor comes out at flame out and boils off, but, if you can wait until 194F, the Flavor gets stonger until 153F, so you may want to check the Bitterness AND Flavor(a teaspoon at a time) every 10-15...
