It was a 1970's book, I would imagine it to be extract with grains,funny how the muslin bag seemed to disappear somewhere around late 50's early 60's, wonder if it was anything to do with folk using malt extract?S.E said:Does that book only cover extract brewing or all grain as well?
Yeah in distillation it comes out hot for a few seconds only and then chilled down to condense, so you would grab the heads(first minute of runnings) to contain all the alpha-acids and then tails (10 minutes?) to grab the bittering oils. Be interested to know what the details around the pressure cooker usage is.kunfaced said:
and I'd imagine the cohumulone and essential oils wouldn't be too happy at 120c. Could be wrong though, apparently Sierra Nevada steam distill their fresh hop cones for an extract now. I don't know too much about distillation though.
That’s why I was wondering if it included grain brewing, wondered what he used to contain the grain if so.wide eyed and legless said:It was a 1970's book, I would imagine it to be extract with grains,funny how the muslin bag seemed to disappear somewhere around late 50's early 60's, wonder if it was anything to do with folk using malt extract?
