I seem to get the most hot break just as it comes to a boil.
Last batch I made 8 gallons in a 9 gallon pot, so I had to add some cooled wort as the pot boiled down. Each time I added some, which cooled the boil, it had another good hot break to skim. It seems to be clearing real well in the fermenters. Perhaps next batch I'll try 'pulsing' the heat while it is near the boil- boil, cool, boil, cool, etc. Or maybe just heat slower? What, turn down the Binford 6,000? No way! arr arr arrrr.
I'm brewing Flat Ass Tired lately, with pellets in bags.
Anybody here hold one sub-boiling temp? Like 205 degrees? "Simmer" for 10 minutes? Any knowledge out there?
