@Trialben - Just a few questions about No Chill.
1 Do you leave the Hops stand in the Kettle during the overnight rest?
2 Do you Whirlpool &/or Steep before Flame Out or after?
3 Do you leave the Break Material in the Kettle when you transfer from Kettle to Fermenter?
I did Whirlpool for 20 minutes with the Kettle insulated before knocking off for the night. The next morning, the Wort was at 160 deg. I unwrapped the Kettle & let it continue to cool. Breakfast & some chores before returning to the Brew. I transfered the Wort to the Fermenter, the Wort was clear, no Break Material visible. I took an OG reading, it was same as previous runs of this recipe.
I liked this process & would like to know more of the fine points.
Thanks for any input.
