Hey guys,
i have another question for those that cube.
The idea is that you shorten the length of time by 15 - 20 minutes for your bittering adition so 60minute becomes 45/40 minutes.
The reason is because the liquid stays hot enough post boil to continue extracting the alpha acids from the hops which makes it more bitter.
Hence the balance.
My Question:
What if you use a hop sock?
Your taking most of the hops out of the wort and so does it still continue to extract the bitterness post boil.
My next beer is going to be a simple Bitter Draught for summer.... so i just need a single adition of POR.
My last beer was a Boags draught clone and it came out not as bitter as i wanted it... and so im wondering if i should ditch the hop sock and try
or use the hop sock and boil for 60 minutes then remove hop sock.
