Hey Jools, For max brewhouse efficiency I'd no-chill in the kettle, then pour / run off through a strainer into the fermenter. You'll catch most of the hops and trub and minimise wort loss.

Otto Von Blotto Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 That would only work if you're pitching yeast the next day. I don't get too hung up on maximising efficiency or volume anyway, it's more useful to get it consistent. It would be an issue worth solving if the gravity or volume was way under the target though.

solidute Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 So my kegs are coke kegs and appear to be rather different than the ones i saw in beerbelly as well as different to the ones my mate has - shorter and wider and posts are in different positions (closer together instead of directly opposite each other) also when we put new o rings on the gas posts they leaked, we put the old ones back on and no issues. Any thoughts on this? Obviously shorter and wider means i cant fit as many in but that can be rectified by buying the more normal kegs which are narrower.

Hairy Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I always wait 10 minutes from flame out before whirlpooling. It is supposed to let the convection currents settle down before whirlpooling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
