Thats my favourite part of filtering. The beer will be good from the get go, and moving it around wont make it trubby again.

Got one on tap atm - beautiful beer. Not quite that clear though, chill haze I think. Did you filter?

No idea where you got the idea to hop like that. Never heard of anyone doing that before. I doubt it will impact your beer negatively - I usually just pour the lot in my fermenter and let it settle down to the bottom - nothing bad is happening because of it. In future, if you bother to strain...

It'll be fine mate. Would have been fine without the sugar, will still be fine with the sugar.

Interesting! I really liked this years when it was just released.

Thanks for the info thirstyboy. I really should buy some PBW in larger quantities - it works so well around the brewery. Will try backflushing and pressurised spraying. If that doesnt work I suppose I'm in the market for a new filter cartridge? I don't like the looks of little clumps of stuff in...

That sounds good, will do something similar in future. Does your cartridge have any stuff in it though?

Hey, So filtering was a great success. Had instantly drinkable beer and almost no wastage to trub etc. Worth the extra half hour of cleaning stuff etc for sure. I've followed advice given here about cleaning it and soaked it in napisan for a couple of days - doesn't seem to have helped. Most...

Based on a recipe linked to me on this forum. Belgian Single Belgian Specialty Ale Recipe Specs ---------------- Batch Size (L): 26.5 Total Grain (kg): 3.760 Total Hops (g): 82.00 Original Gravity (OG): 1.036 (P): 9.0 Final Gravity (FG): 1.008 (P): 2.1...

Mate, disagree totally about the volume thing. As it's getting warmer I'm starting to really prefer drinking more, lower alcohol beer. Also, that's not really a fair equation. 2 pints of 6 percent beer should be the same as 3 pints of 4 percent beer.... not 5-6.... That's a silly method of...

Loving this beer. Did it at 33ish IBU with the exact hopping regime suggested by Ross (I no chill so I did some hopping post cubing with a small boil). Found it to be a little lacking in terms of aroma and flavour so I popped 30g in the keg. After 3 days it's a cracker. Overall, loving this beer...

I found both the lager and the pale to be quite sour on the back of the palate. Alright in the pale with the citrusy hops but not great in the lager.

I dont think many people do that when no chilling. 40 minutes sitting there in the kettle all up seems like ages to me... anyone else? I just turn gas off, put hops in cube, then whirlpool. Once it stops spinning I siphon into the cube. No idea what everyone else does, but it worked for me. I...

Yeah, seriously. I calc'd my 10 minute IPA at 60 IBU and it's less bitter (apparent bitternes, maybe not technical IBU) than feral hop hog which is at 48 ibu I believe. If you are going for that vibe, just throw them all in the cube and calculate that as a 10 minute addition. It makes a VERY...

I reckon in those quantities late, those hops and malt will be fine. Up it to 50 IBU though and don't calc anything to do with no chill as a 5 minute addition, it just wont be.

The Old Rosie scrumpy is a pretty nice drop though, and pretty dangerous at 7.3% buy it!

Generally people calc cube additions as 10 minute additions. Maybe try tea hopping or Argon's no chill hopping method if you want ultra late hop character. I reckon cube hopping plus dry hopping might work very well though. Edit: YMMV

How will you do 5 minute additions with no chill?

Not really for christmas but will most likely be sipping on a Belgian Single, smurtos landlord, an APA or two and probably a mediocre black ipa that hasn't blown yet...

So I'm just knocking off from work, cracked open a Sierra Nevada Celebration we just got in. I know for a fact that this is no more than one and a half months old, so that isn't the problem, and I believe they get shipped refrigerated. I had this a year or two ago and thought it was super...
