Hmmm.... that is interesting. I definitely agree with the clear wort after a settling effect. I am going to be using a settling tank after reading Noonan. I think that could have a big effect of beer flavor and quality.
I will have to do some more research but from everything I have read, the science points to a fast chilling to precipitate out the long chain proteins and that they do not easily come out of solution on their own. I could be wrong but would like some evidence to the contrary.
I definitely think this is a viable technique, I just don't think it fits my MO.
The book I got that out of is Noonan's New Lager Brewing. It is a great book. I can try to remember to look tonight when I get home.
EDIT: I should also note that I have an aversion to plastic. Completely unfounded, yes, but I can't help it.
