    Anvil Bucket Fermenter Closed Transfer

    That's how I do it too. If you want to get really fancy and spend more money, you can get the tri clamp adapter for the Anvil and a tri clamp ball lock adapter.

    Nice. How long do you keep those?

    Or a slope like Brewlab does in the UK

    Samuel Smith's Yorkshire Squares

    I'll leave it to the sciencey guys to explain that, but my point is that whether it happens early in the fermentation or not, spraying wort into the top chamber will result in O2 pickup and that O2 will reach the trough. We're in agreement that that does not produce oxidation in the beer...

    It seems you are trying to have it both ways. If the process requires oxygenation, then it needs to reach the trough. So it's not that there is no O2 pickup, it's that the yeast and brewing processes are adapted to that O2 ingress and it is beneficial.

    Precisely. It's not that there's no O2 pickup, it's that the yeast and the other processes are adapted to that O2 pickup and it doesn't spoil the beer.

    Samuel Smith's Yorkshire Squares

    Believe that's quite similar to what I said above.

    Samuel Smith's Yorkshire Squares

    So agreement then that fermentation in the Yorkshire Square results in pick up of O2. So the notion that the yeast bed completely precludes this is wrong.

    Samuel Smith's Yorkshire Squares

    According to their description that's the wort that's being sprayed over the yeast. And agree that you want to oxygenate that point so you are picking up oxygen in a Yorkshire Square

    Samuel Smith's Yorkshire Squares

    You inspired me to do a bit of investigating. Currently one of the breweries using Yorkshire Squares is Black Sheep. Here's a link to their description of the brewing process along with an image of the work being sprayed over the top of the yeast bed. I'll leave particulars to the science guys...

    Wasn't addressing O2 ingress through that layer of yeast, but only that that layer of yeast is exposed to the atmosphere. Is that aspect correct?

    Samuel Smith's Yorkshire Squares

    By strictly speaking I take it you mean the actual vessel in which the wort is fermenting. Am I corrected my understanding that the upper deck where the yeast is discharged is open to the atmosphere?

    Samuel Smith's Yorkshire Squares

    If the beer is going in cask, it will be racked to cask where additional fermentation will take place which should scavenge residual O2. Once in cask, it is out to the trade and dispensed in a relatively short period of time. Once the cask is tapped, there will be oxygen ingress in any event...

    English Ales - What's your favorite recipe?

    I've used pPlgrim for bittering. TBH I really don't notice any significant difference between using any hop at 60+ minutes as long as I get the IBUs correct.
