Exactly my few cubes I did were a little too bitter with quite a back of the thought bite. My thinking is account for the extra Bitterness but yea maybe a little too much hot hop time. My brew that fermenting ATM if 90 min boiled and FWH ed it's that swartzy lager smelling nice and malty but bitterness will be interesting there Mark. I've just been racking my brain on how to incorporate a cube into a normal brew day without too much extra hop bitterness. How would you tackle a cube brew day incorporated into a regular brew day mark??If you're FWH your wort is only at mashout temp when it hits hops , you'd be leaving your cubed portion to cool for 60-90 mins + while remainder of wort first comes to boil then your boil time
I have a 20gallon pot with a pulley for my 10 gallon brews which I do outdoors. Smaller batches I don't bother with a pulleyKettle size is the main limitation , how big is your kettle ?
Understand why you would use a pulley on a 10 gal batch , that bag might test the arms holding a hot and heavy bag for 20+ minsI have a 20gallon pot with a pulley for my 10 gallon brews which I do outdoors. Smaller batches I don't bother with a pulley
