No chill technique where instead of adding the hops to the boil or flame-out, they are dumped into the cube with the hot wort racked on top, cube sealed up and left to cool on its own.Lowlyf said:Please excuse my ignorance, but please explain cube hopping?

As the hops are added to the hot wort there is some 'rough' approximations on how much IBU this adds, but most use something like a 15-20min addition as an equivalent to cube hoping
Ahh yep piece of cake. I have a 15L cube that I use for my half batches but I may have to invest in a bigger cube then. That is probably the easiest recipe I've ever seen. Love ithwall95 said:Yeah as SBOB mentioned, I just use 15min as an approximation which to my tastebuds have tasted about right. The recipe above makes for an easy brew due to it's lack of kettle additions, just have to remember to add whirlfloc/equivalent and apart from that you can start cleaning and have a beer.
If you want even more cube hopping advice (or inspiration to throw massive amounts of hops into a cube) then look for Yob's posts on the topicLowlyf said:Ahh yep piece of cake.

Yeah +1 to yeast driven beers. An afternoon Hefe on the back deck is lovely. Same with a saison, but unfortunately most of my saisons aren't the most sessionable beers...contrarian said:Summer is a great time to make some yeast driven beers!
tell me about it... see my pipeline in my sig... still got heaps more to do, getting married in Feb, and need 10 kegs at least. Plus there's a whole summer of drinking in between... joizushwall95 said:This thread is reminding of all the brewing I need to get done starting in two weeks
Yeah a lot a brewing indeed! I brewed for my older brothers wedding (just bottled though) and it was a lot of work, but the guests loved it though, they drunk 13 cartons...dannymars said:tell me about it... see my pipeline in my sig... still got heaps more to do, getting married in Feb, and need 10 kegs at least.
