Hi everyone.
For my first 3 all grains I got a small boil over initially and then it would be fine for the 60 minutes. I used a hop sock wich worked fine but we got inconsistencies between bottles in hop bitterness and flavour which to me implies that the wort inside the hop sock wasn't circulating properly.
For my 4th brew I didn't use the hop sock with an attempt at whirlpooling. The problem was i kept getting boil overs when adding hops. The hops would all be pushed up the side of the pot or over the side. When I pushed the hops back in from the sides it would boil over again. I couldn't get the temperature much lower and I was boiling 30l in a 50l pot for my 23l batch.
has anyone got any advice?
thanks.
