Hi All,
I'm moving across to BIAB with no chill from extract and have been reading up on the differences regarding hop additions with no chill. The general idea seems to be knock off 20 minutes from hop addition times and for sub 20 minute additions cube hop and for 0 minute make a hop tea and add once cooled. I understand it's a bit of a black art and it may be impossible to do a direct recipe conversion from chill to no chill in all cases but what do you do with recipes where you have several sub 20 minute additions? I.e. Dr Smurtos Golden Ale has additions at 10 and 5 minutes, would I just cube hop both of these qtys together? I can mess around with the IBU levels in Brewmate etc with the NC option turned on to achieve the same IBU result but I'm just concerned that I may be missing something?
Cheers
