Wow great stuff. One question though. I too use idophor for sanitizing, and don't think mine has ever been quite that deep a yellow color. What concentration was that? Wondering if maybe I've been mixing mine too weak.

no, i often just dump some in without measuring and i added a bit too much this time.
don't do that...it'll stain your equipment if you leave it too long and can even give an iodine flavor to the beer.
using one capful per 5 gallons of water is just fine.

Ahhh good deal.
Ya I used about a capful in 3 gallons last time. Probably good enough, water had a very light yellow tint.
Anywho, great post, I've bookmarked this for an upcoming brew

Thanks for the cool tut.
I'm a noob & I've only done one extract brew batch. I am going to try this technique, for sure. Looks easy enough. Any fav recipes?
Hope your back gets better.

Thanks, i'm certainly working on the back problem.
my absolute favorite recipes for this method are my dunkelweizens. it can be as simple as:
Grains:
3 lbs Wheat Malt
2 lbs Munich Malt
¼ lbs Chocolate Malt (pale chocolate is wonderful in this recipe)
Extract: 3 lbs Wheat Dry Malt Extract
Hops: 0.6 oz Tettnanger, hallertau or saaz (at ~4% AA) for 60 minute boil.
Yeast: WLP 300
ferment in the mid 60s if you can
EDIT: i think i'll make this recipe this weekend
EDIT: Changed amount of hops and added boil time for clarification.

yes...i'm not partial to banana esters in my darker hefeweizens, but...i actually think the time i made this with the pale chocolate it was with the 380...more apricot notes. it was fantastic. fermented in the high 60s.

That is idophor in the carboy? WHEW! I thought that was pee or something. I know pee is sterile but I was not going to say anything!
I feel MUCH better now (and will through out last nights brew).
