As some one who does pressure cook my starters (but no chills otherwise) I can tell you that you would not want to autoclave the whole wort - raising the temp to 121C totally changes the wort - more protein coagulates and drops out and the wort noticably darkens - also pressure cooking seems to...

The secret to a richer flavoured stout is in the yeast not the grain if you up the dark malts you just end upwith a stout that tastes like dirt - rather burnt dirt - if you munch on a handful of black malt - that is the exact flavour you will get in the beer - what you need to use is a...

I am very familiar with this phenomenon it was the 'bottling effect' that made me switch to kegging - IMHO the flavour of kegged beer and bottled coditioned beer is totally different and i prefer kegged beer - for a start consider the difference between commercial beer on tap and in the bottle...

back to the actual topic of no chill brews I chucked 25 g of aroma hops in my last cube. this beer will be ready to drink in a week what re other peoples experiences of doing this - does it add much flavour/ aroma - does it work -is it worth doing - i will report back with my experiences...
