0 minute hop add

[jaydlaw]

the hops that you add at the end of your boil (the 0 minute hops), how long do they stay in? do they go into the primary with the wort?

 

[Onkel_Udo]

I guess they could with no ill effects but they usually don't

I have found that Onkel Udo's is usually right, so I would go with him.
I probably don't do it right, but I generally throw all of it into the primary, trub, late hops and all.
not a big statistical study, but I go along these lines:

You can always filter your wort through a sieve on its way to your bucket or carboy if having hops particles floating around in your fermenter concerns you.

Everything that doesn't stick to my kettle goes in my kettle. I filter with a paint strainer in to my bottling bucket.

I guess to a certain extent it would depend on how quickly you can chill your wort below 180 f. But even then, not harm in then going into the primary. I might, but probably not, balk if you were leaving them in for more than say a month.

FYI, my system actually uses leaf hops as par of the trub filter. I loos about 1/4" of finished beer from each fermenter (Ale Pales) but leave behind a lot of brains when I do BAIB and a moderate amount when I do not (traditional 3-tier).

great idea. i biab with paint strainer bags, so i have them handy. I use muslin bags for the hops in an attempt to make the beer clearer, I will take them out after the wort cools. i do not have a chiller. the ice bath takes some time.

This BYO article has some good info: http://byo.com/component/k2/item/2808-hop-stands

I put most everything from the BK into the fermenter. I figure, let the yeast figure out what they want to chew on.

good read for those who haven't checked it out already.

On my latest batch (brewed last night) I reused the paint strainer bag after the mash (emptied first) to add the hops irish moss. i hung it from handle to handle , and dropped the stuff in when the time came. It works pretty good, and while it isn't completely filtering, it limits some of the material, and i would image would make the trub slightly less. i am not to concerned after reading the link that Andyoesq provided in a previous reply.

I think this is ok, but remember the grain has lots of contamination - the strainer needs to be well cleaned and sanitized. It would bother me to the point that I just wouldn't do it, but I'm a fanatic.

 

[jaydlaw]

i rinsed it out well and let it sit in sanitation fluid.

That's a great article, but I'm confused on some of the findings.

– 50% (3/6) preferred Truby over Non-Truby
– 67% (4/6) reported Non-Truby as having better flavor in general.



So, there's at least 50% that like Truby over Non-Truby, even though Non-Truby had a better flavor? :cross:

It's in the boil, it just has to be clean. You're boiling the product of those dirty grains anyway.

That was my thoughts, i rinsed to get rid of all the grains that may be stuck on after dumping the bulk out. i sanitized because it is a habit and i sanitize just about everything. it's being boiled so i didn't think much of it. if you could get an infection, you'd get it from your wort chiller too.
