Hi! I'm finally going to be doing my first AG a week on Sat. I'm hoping to use my brothers big gas stove but hoped to ferment at my house as he's going away and i'd like to keep an eye on it. I've thought about using the no chill method and after cooling slightly, putting it in the boot and taking it home before pitching the yeast the next day.
My question about it is, I've read that cold break (or something) settles at the bottom of the cube. Would it be better to gently syphon the beer out of the cube to the fv to avoid disturbing this and find another way of aerating, or is it best to pour from a height to aid aeration?
On a seperate note, the mother in law breeds and hand rears parrots and other birds. Is the spent grain any good for bird feed or anything? She might chip in next time if it is :)
(if anyone happens to be looking to buy a parrot, she currently has african greys, maccaws, quaker parakeets, alexandrians and a few others)
Thanks for any help!
