once I reach the end of my 60 minute boil, I hook up he chiller lines and run city water through it enough to get to 160ish.. the program will keep the wort right at that temp for my 30 minute wirl pool hops that I divided out earlier..once the 30 mintues is up, I switch the chiller water from city water to chiller water that is chilled to 40 degrees, that will bring the wort down to 80 degrees in 10 minutes.. from there I aerated the wort, pitch the yeast... the grainfather conical fermenter has heating and cooling capabilities ( via the chiller system I built)… I star this type of yeast at 65, fermentation started bye Monday afternoon(I brewed Sunday).. fermentation had slowed last night so I raised he temp to 70 to finish it off... tomorrow I add dry hop #1while in the fermenter... next weekend, I'll rack to my secondary and dry hop #2 will be added.. I'm going to update this brew as I go through the steps , all the way to bottling… if for no other reason just to post something different.
