No Chill- the bad bits, what are they ?

[peebee]

I thought it had been quite civil compared to some of the snug threads. ...

Uh? Okay, I'll try to do something about that. Now, let's see ...

But the big boys are clearly doing it right, some we need to copy everything they do without question.

I'm sold! From now on I only do what this little boy says.

Happy (remains of) Christmas

Happy Christmas mate. And all the best for the Brew Year.

You don't need them Jof I'me here and have been on this thread for a while

How does ticking the no chill box effect the recipe?
Assuming it affects the timing and quantity of late addition hops. Does it?

It adjusts the IBU (increases it, as the hops are isomerising for longer).

(If isomerising is a word lol)

So would I be right in saying, if you take you hops out you shouldn't press the no chill button?

I'd say yes, as they would no longer be affecting the brew (unless they have become quantum entangled ). Hadn't thought of that subtlety, need to bear that in mind if I use a hop bag.

 

[MashBag]

Hence why I thought they button was a joke.

And ime, leaving the hops in robs the flavours completely (don't ask, don't know)

Oh, and while we are at it, dont mix up pellet hops with guinea pig nuggets, they will definitely give you that grassy flavour.
