I have been all grain brewing quite a while and have been focused upon the techniques of the mash and boil for quite some time obviously. It occurred to me during the last brew that I have not put much focus on learning what is best and what others do flameout to fermenter. Thus I pose the question, what do you do and why from flameout to fermenter?
I suppose your answer will be based upon what type of chiller you use, please include that in any comments
My steps are as follows using an IC, and no type of hop bag or hop containment during the boil.
1. Start whirlpool, run 5-10 minutes during boil, pull from bottom of boil kettle (converted keg) to pump, then back in a lower port to whirlpool. No pump issues yet.
2. Flame out
3. Run chiller, this generally takes 25 minutes to go from 210 to 70F
4. Remove Chiller, whirlpool still going, cover with lid
5. Let whirlpool go for 15 minutes
6. Stop whirlpool, let rest for 20 minutes
7. Re start pump and use same hose that was being used for whirlpool to pump to fermenter. Pump pulls from below false bottom made of SS with circular holes.
8. Add yeast and go...
Anyone want to share? I am specifically interested in the steps, time, cold break separation, hop filtering, and cooling.
Cheers
