  • Floating Hops

    Ok here is a new one I have not seen before,
    on the last 2 batches of beer an IPA and a Pale ale
    all of the whirlpool hops float back up onto the top of the wort. we have tried stirring them back in and even re-running the whirlpool to get them to settle down but they come right back up to the top. while its not a serious problem it makes for an interesting time at the end of the transfer. anyone ever seen this before?

    Yeah I've had that happen, too! I think it had to do with the steam being on during the whirlpool. Now I make sure I turn the steam off first and it hasn't been a problem, and I'm getting a better trub pile.

    Good luck,
