This is a very interesting read; thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed procedure.
I'm thinking about how I could adapt my system to these process and would be interested in hearing some thoughts.
I use a plate chiller. I believe the plates are copper. How much of an impact is this likely to have, and is pre-rinsing the copper with acid solution likely to help remove the oxide layer?
This has already been asked, but not answered. How would this work if bottling rather than kegging? (note: I do both - keg and bottle. I like to have some beer in bottles, but my bottling gun is crappy for oxygenation).
How do you manage to chill quickly to 5-6C?
How soon after adding yeast do you oxygenate?
Are plastic fermenters a problem with this process?
Is it worth flushing grain with CO2?
