Coopers Hazy IPA recipe query

[aussiewasp]

Hi,

I am about to start a batch of Coopers Hazy IPA and am confused with the recipe and hope someone can clarify. Here is an extract from the 1. Mix section.

• Bring the liquid to the boil for 5 minutes then turn off heat.
• Add in half of the Ahtanum Hops and half of the Citra Hops.

Q in here: Do I add the hops to steep and strain off into the FV? They dont say strain off after you steep.  

• Leave the hops to steep in the liquid (wort) for 30 minutes with the lid on.
• Cool the liquid by placing the pot in a bath of cold water for about 15mins.
• Add the Thomas Coopers Preacher’s Hefe Wheat, the Thomas Coopers Light Malt Extract, Coopers Light Dry Malt and the cooled hop and malt liquid to the fermenting vessel (FV) then stir to dissolve. Don’t be concerned if lumps of Light Dry Malt persist as they will dissolve over the course of several hours.

Hi mate, always strain out the hoppy liquid before adding it to the FV

Here is the recipe but I wouldn't strain off the liquid you steeped the hops in, just add it to the fermenter.

1. MIX

• Place the Light Crystal Malt in a plastic zip-lock sandwich bag and crack it using a rolling pin.
• In a good size pot (around 5 Litres) bring 2 litres of water to approximately 65-70°C, add the crushed Light Crystal Malt (we recommend wrapping in a mesh cleaning cloth, pulled straight from the wrapper) and let steep for about 30 minutes.
• Remove the Light Crystal Malt by gathering up the corners of the mesh cloth and lift, allowing the liquid to drain from the Light Crystal Malt back into the pot.
• Bring the liquid to the boil for 5 minutes then turn off heat.
• Add in half of the Ahtanum Hops and half of the Citra Hops.
• Leave the hops to steep in the liquid (wort) for 30 minutes with the lid on.
• Cool the liquid by placing the pot in a bath of cold water for about 15mins.
• Add the Thomas Coopers Preacher’s Hefe Wheat, the Thomas Coopers Light Malt Extract, Coopers Light Dry Malt and the cooled hop and malt liquid to the fermenting vessel (FV) then stir to dissolve. Don’t be concerned if lumps of Light Dry Malt persist as they will dissolve over the course of several hours.
• Top up with cold tap water to 20 litres and stir thoroughly.
• Check the temperature and top up to 23 litres with warm or cool water (refrigerated if necessary) to start the brew at 18°C.
• Stir in the Coopers Commercial Yeast Culture or sprinkle the Lallemand American East Coast Yeast, then fit the lid.

Hi, Remember that the hops are not really steeped. They are added directly to the hot liquid. I would have thought that straining was required.
 

It is just not said.

Yeah, I may have mis read it, sorry don't want to confuse you.

OK, I am sorted. STRAIN! (like usual)

For what it's worth, I sanitise a sieve then pour off the steeped liquid (malt and hoppy gunk) into the FV through the sieve. Catches quite a bit of of hoppy debris.

Yep definitely strain the hoppy liquid as you pour into the FV
