Saturday's brewday

[johnnyc]

Brewed an Imperial Pale Ale yesterday, nothing special but I tried a new aeration method. My carboy isn't marked for volume so I poured through a wire strainer into a fine mesh funnel and into my ale bucket so I could top off the wort to 5 gallons. I then poured it from there into my 6.5 gallon carboy through the filters again. Oh and I put a single drop of olive oil in there too, I'm just curious if that'll help.

I also used Whirlfloc for the first time and amount of sediment that fell out was awesome. Here's a pic of that too. It compacted and settled later but this is way better than I've ever had with Irish moss. Sorry my camera phone sucks.

Yeah that Whirlfoc certainly did its job, nice break!

First off I just want to say I've NEVER seen that much foam from just pouring through a filter. I think the single drop of olive oil helped.
