Subject: removing hot break/cold break material
In a recent post David mentioning not carrying over hot break material (he
also mention Cold is OK). I've heard this from a few places. What is
everyone else doing? Some people I know throw hops and all into the
fermenter, I personally use a funnel wit ha filter on it, albeit not a very
fine one. What are some techniques used out there to separate these
materials?

Subject: Thank you
Thank all for the answer to my no chill question. I have been doing it for
about 10 or so batches. Life changes, I am using extract and specialty
grains for now, but again brewing 10 gallons at a time.
I used to open ferment in a 1/2 sanky. My problem now is I can not move
the beer. Too heavy for one person, so I went to the 7 gallon conical. Some
times I would put 1/2 the batch in the fermenter and 5 gallons in a plastic
jug (hot) to be fermented when the first half was done.
It gave me a warm fuzzy feeling putting almost boiling liquid in the
fermenter. It HAD to be sanitary. That part has proven out true, but I had
no problems open fermenting either.
Before I used only a 2 litre starter of 1007 yeast and drew the beer out
from under the yeast cake after 6 days at 68*f. I did this from the early
90s until a couple years ago. All beer goes in to corny kegs and is force
carbonated.
Now I use dry fermentes S04 and S05. One package per fermenter. I draw
stuff off the bottom every few days and the beer stays in the fermenter for 2
or 3 weeks.
Now that I have 2 fermenters, I can split a batch using S05 and 1056 from a
1 liter starter. I use 02 when using liquid yeast. I do not use it for the
dry yeast, although I could.
Next time I make a pale ale, I will split chill and no chill with the same
yeast.
Thanks for the quick professional answers. Good to see the digest active.
David
