So, I ran out of gas today in the bottle my burner is hooked up to at about 40 mins into boil. I didn't notice for probably about 10 minutes, and the temperature dropped to about 95 degrees. As soon as I noticed, I hooked up my backup bottle and brought it back to the boil for my late hop addition (which was only intended to be for 10 minutes). Once it started boiling, huge chunks of what I can only assume was cold break started rising to the surface in the rolling boil. I assume it's cold break because my hot break during initial boil was fairly light and I've never seen such large solids rising to the surface, only dropping out during chill.
I only let it boil for maybe 3 minutes with my late hop addition and then just left the hops sit for 10 minutes before starting chill as though they were a flameout addition as I was concerned about the effect of boiling cold break.
I really have no idea about the flavours that boiling cold break might cause to go into my beer or the effect on yeast nutrients. Can anyone suggest a bit of a prognosis on this?
Cheers,
