Normally two or three days before bottling, in fact when I've got the lid off for gelatine or Polyclar as I don't like to open it up too much after the krausen has gone. What got me thinking about it originally is that basically, this is what Fosters do with their mainstream beers which don't go anywhere near a hop until they are on the way to the packaging line. No doubt this doesn't apply to their top end brews like Cascade etc. However, it seems to work ok (Melb. Bitter has a nice hop once you get used to it) and naturally they are using an extract far more sophisticated than a coffee plunger job but I thought I'd give it a go, and some good results.
Wouldn't mind a can of this to try: (Maybe for smaller outfits like South Pacific Brewing, Fiji etc??)
