Ahb Wiki: The No-chiller Method / Using A Cube

You'd be removing one of the main anti infection benefits of cubing in pastuerisation. Needs to sit above 80C for a certain period. If down to 50C I think it would cool faster than the time required to ensure pastuerisation. There was a chart floating around with the e temps and times. You could maybe chill not quite as cold and find a happy medium to achieve your desired outcome?

 

That's what I was thinking. I Star San my cube anyway and don't store for any longer than 5 days.
On a brew I did yesterday I measured the temp of the wort prior to hitting the cube and it was 67°C after whirlpooling. No chilling. The ambient air was around 8°C (typical of Orange over winter) so yes it did drop that much. I figured if it's going to have cooled down anyway I could force chill down to 70°C and remove one variable.

 

Is an interesting concept. Very keen to hear the results! Be nice to get certainty around late hopping and no chill!

 

The link to the article doesnt seem to work, can somone point me in the direction of it now?

Cheers

 

No sure where it is on the forum now

There is a copy of it here http://hyperfox.info/no-chill.htm
