Hi there. My Braumeister has blown an element, so while I'm waiting for a new one, Ross
, I thought I would give an extract a go. Its been 15 years since I did an extract an I have a question.
As I still have the hops from the brew I was doing when the BM blew up I just bought 2 x 1.5 Kg tins of Coopers Pale Malt Extract. So I plan on boiling one tin with about 5 litres of water and doing my hop additions in that. Then adding the rest of the water and malt ect and fermenting.
Question. As I ferment in a S/S flat bottom fermenter can I just do the boil, top up and ferment in the same vessel as there should be no hot or cold break? Would be easier than transferring to a plastic fermenter.
