No Boil Finings

[Wez]

The other week I was lucky to be escorted around a small commercial brewery by the head brewer, one of the topics we discussed was fining, and he was surprised that us homebrewers actually boil our finings, he adds his finings at 'flameout' so no boil at all, and lets them sit for 5 mins (iirc) then chills the wort.

Anyone ever heard of this?

I wish i'd asked him what he used! Do breweries use different copper finings to us or are we missing a trick?

(Hello Wez, hope you're well)

Where was this?

Hi Si, I'm great thanks, hope you're OK too :thumb:

It was up at Batemans in Lincolnshire, he really couldn't believe that we boil our copper finings, I'll email him today to ask what product they use.
