Learning the no chill hop timing takes trial and error with your set up. For hops under 20 min in the regular recipe, I add them at flame-out at different times based on BK temps. I let it cool for 15 min or so (i boil in my kitchen so YMMV), see how far it has dropped, and decide when to add...

strawberry blonde w/ this beers works great. use fresh/frozen, not the artificial flavoring.

Toss it in the freezer instead. I freeze any extra wort from my mash for starters.

Nice write-up. Would you handle a really hoppy beer with LOTS of hop materials any differently? OG was 1.056.

A DIPA would never start below 1.060 (most are in the 70+'s), so your 1.044 is either wrong or something else is not accurate.

I freeze individual portions of AG wort, which comes from extra volume not needed for the BK and/or I sparge a bit extra during the brew session. Then defrost, boil for 10 min, use as a starter.

You don't have to, but when it isn't bubbling in 24-48 hours... you know why (you underpitched) and don't need start a new thread here asking why :) cheers!

I just renewed my membership to vote for you and Yooper. good luck!

i am not certain this is 100%, but on my buckets to test the airtightness, I press down on the sealed bucket top (after yeast pitch) to make sure my bubbler is bubbling. I've never had a bucket in 5 years not bubble w fermentation. knock wood.

wow bummer!! I would bleach bomb all the plastics you can't afford or don't want to replace. I would not omit that the bugs could be in the fermenters and however you siphon, as acetobacter need oxygen and a sanitation issue to flourish. So it could take while for it to show and you may not...

If there are multiple correct winners, first in time to reply, or coin toss? thanks.

you should boil the water. The nasties that can ruin your ferment can pass through a filter but not a ten min boil.

226 thanks!

it doesn't look infected. I would drink it asap though, because it should be drunk fresh. Yours is 4 weeks old. I try to keg my hoppy beers in ~ 14 days, and do the last DH in the keg. and there is too much headspace in your secondary. Get a 5g BB for secondaries- I don't secondary IPA's...

Thanks to everyone who participated... much obliged!

thanks- great info! Any one else?

No. It will be dfferent (darker, maltier) but not too much. Go for it.
