My 1st No Chill brew !!!!!!

[wrestler63]

Well, just tapped my 1st No Chill beer. What a great beer. A little young but no off flavors, clean, and hoppy. I did an all grain IPA using FWH, 60 min, and 15 min hop additions and pitched a notty slurry from another IPA 18 hrs after brewing. Primary for 2 weeks, secondary for 3 weeks and dry hopped for 6 days.
This is now my process for cold winter months. So glad I gave this a go.
Cheers

No-chill is great. I started it a while back and really like it. I also save a bunch of time.

Yeah, I love the no chill. I kind of wish the thought of HAVING to chill my wort never entered my head. It's so much easier this way, and no real downfalls.

If you like the now chill for winter, try this https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f36/i-love-no-sparge-brewing-140972/


Sacchromyces no sparge followed by no chill. I really like it for the winter months and it makes my brew day much simpler and safer.

How is that? In the winter I can chill my wort to pitching temps in 10 minutes.

I like the idea of no-chill a lot.

What if I went from the brewpot directly into a corny keg and sealed it with CO2. Then the next day I can push it out with CO2 into my fermenter and pitch the yeast.

Does anyone see a downside or risk to doing it this way?

That will absolutely work. You will need to airate that crap out of it. I have a spigot on my container and drain through a filtered funnel into carbouy and it airates the wort well.
I did a 10g batch of a IIPA last night and pitched rehydrated S-04 yeast at 11am today and it was fermenting by 3pm.
Good Luck
