No chill

[philired1]

Hi All,
I need some help with no chilling.If i have a recipe that has for example 30 ibu' made up of say 16g POW for 60mins and 10 g cascade for 10 mins. If i reduce the boil time to say 45 mins for POW and flame out for cascade this will increase my total ibu's. do i reduce my POW amount so i get back to 30 ibu's.

There is this thread, https://aussiehomebrewer.com/threads/ahb-wiki-the-no-chiller-method-using-a-cube.23742/
But personally when I did no chill I went with the Argon method.

Also I think the beer turns out better using an immersion chiller and chilling the wort. But that's your call.

I have a very standard immersion chiller....a Guten 40 litre one......apart from using about 30 litres of water to cool the wort I can only get the temp of a 20 litre batch down to 40 degs.....which means I have to wait overnight for the temp to go down anyway.

Is there any better immersion chiller (im not very scientific, i don't want a plate chiller, or glyco) thats gives me better results?....or do i have to buy a pump and get ice and do that?

Just shift your 60 min addition to 45 mins and anything 15 minutes and under goes straight to the cube hop (transferring your wort anywhere between 80-85 degrees).. simple!

I have 6000 litres of water in a tank in the shade so cooling doesn't take to long and that's with the immersion chiller I got with the Guten. If you could get a tank of a 1000 litres near your brewing area you would be alright, I would have a conscience about using tap water.

As WEAL recommends you could get an IBC https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/lan...itres-for-100-free-local-delivery-/1240392440 The problem is providing you have space for such a thing is that you're stuck with ambient temp's (unless you bury it) and your location gets rather warm in summer. Perhaps a better idea would be two of these https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/rowville/other-home-garden/200l-plastic-drum/1240342071 and a submersible pump, I use a couple of these on my small still, just fill and freeze as many 2ltr milk bottles or whatever that your freezer will hold and away you go. A little tip if this appeals to you is to do the first cooling using the container without any ice which will warm the water, then as the temp of the wort approachs the cooling water temp switch to the second container which has the ice in it. It all depends on your circumstances, enough floor space? Enough freezer space? I bought a small tucker box freezer off gumtree for $50 just for this type of thing and only run it for a couple of days before I need ice. A couple of tablespoons of bleach once a month will keep the water good in the containers.

in brewers fired you can set a no chill extended hop boil time to allow for more bittering in the cube. with trial and error I have it set for 10 minutes and it feels about right to me .if I want strong hop aroma I also chuck some in the cube
