No Chiil Method
Hi all
Just getting ready to do my fist BIAB using the "no chill" method and will leave it over night in the FV to cool. I was wondering if I needed to oxygenate the wort again when I pitch the yeast?

Re: No Chiil Method
Only oxygenate the wort when cooled.
I'm not sure what you're planning, but any plastic container receiving hot wort should be made of food grade HDPE.
"No chill" usually means transferring just off boiling wort to a HDPE jerry can, filling it right to the top and then squeezing out any remaining air before sealing it up and leaving it to cool. You then transfer the cool wort to a sanitised FV for pitching.

Re: No Chiil Method
You've probably done this by now, but if you pitch dried yeast in accordance with the given instructions, you might note there is no advice to oxygenate the wort. This is because everything necessary is in the packet.Navigator wrote:Hi all

Pitching liquid yeast is different, when both the quantity and condition of the yeast influence needs.
Don't worry if you've unnecessarily oxygenated the wort, the yeast will eventually consume it, but it will shorten the odds against contamination.
Without patience, life becomes difficult and the sooner it's finished, the better.

Re: No Chill Method
Many thanks for your help Jocky...I thought that might be the case regards filling the jerry can although I did see this post that got me thinking!

I just run the boiled wort into an FV and let it chill overnight - leaving the lids on cracked open.
Never fails - just pitch when down to room temp.

Hi
I have done 4 biab brews so far and use the same method as simco999 , put the boiling wort direct into a fermenting bin, put lid on with a airlock filled with some star san solution and leave to cool then pitch yeast. have had no problems so far, right or wrong it works for me
