I did a brew a couple of days ago, and whirlpooled the wort as I'd normally do.
Rather than adding 100C wort to the cube, I let it sit in the BK for about 45 minutes with the lid on, allowing the temp to drop to exactly 85C.
At that stage, I drained all the wort into a thuroughly sterilized fermenter, along with my hop addition.
Next day, I aerated the wort and added the yeast. It's currently fermenting away full throttle
It will be interesting to see how it turns out, if it doesn't work, I'll give up on the no-chill and move over to chilling. So far the best fruity flavours has come from beers I've chilled in an ice bath (before I went to a bigger brewery size)...
