I have been brewing for quite a while, but only Kit and extracts because I don't really have the time to do all grains. For the last few batches I have been using Alan's excellent spreadsheet and this has improved my results enormously (Thanks Alan).
My question is though, has anyone been using a coffee dripolator with filter paper for their hop additions? I have used one for adding aroma and flavour hops, when using pellets, so that the beer has less sediment suspended at the end of ferment. The only problem is that it doesn't really fit in with the spreadsheet. To overcome this I have guestimated that when I add say 30gm of pellets to the filter and pass 14 cups of water (by the measurements on the coffee maker) through it, I enter it as 30gms at 5 mins in the spreadsheet. Admittedly the water isn't quite at boiling temperature, but I was interested in any thoughts anyone may have on this. Or if anyone else does something similar.
Cheers
Bob
