Hi Guys,
I recently came upon a Birko Urn and am planning on doing my 1st BIAB batch in it this weekend.
A thought struck me last night that as I am not using my stove pot this time. Normally, I would chill in the sink, but can't obviously put the urn in the sink and I don't have an immersion chiller, so I need to no chill (I presume)
Having not ever done this and not owning a cube, i need to see if I can pour hot wort into my fermenter, seal it up and place in my fermenting fridge to cool over night, then pitch in the morning.
I am wondering a couple of things, is this feasable and also when I click the "no Chill Option on Brewmate all the IBU's etc go all out of whack (bitterness way up, aroma I assume goes down). Do i need to compensate my hops to adjust for no chill accordingly? I don't think that I understand hops well enough to change recipes willy nilly to accommodate
Also, I understand that no chill creates a beer haze- is this correct??
Any ideas/insight will be eternally grateful
Andrew
