Hi all
So I'm all primed up and keen to make myself a wee heavy scotch ale... If I could enter IanH's spreadsheet into a competition, I've designed myself a winning brew
Now I just need the ingredients and a fridge and I'm ready to go... (if anyone has a free fridge in the Perth region then let me know!)
Got a question about whirlfloc... IanH's spreadsheet-of-awesome says to put 1/5 a tablet in, 10 minutes before flame out. My understanding is that the whirlfloc will basically bunch all the bits together so they settle to the bottom...
After that, how do you transfer the boiled wort into the fermenter? Do you just remove the hops, cool, and then tip the whole lot in? Do you need to filter it out? If I just tip it in, will the bits settle again?
How and when does the whirlfloc do it's business?
Thanks all!
