Thanks so much Jimmy, really enjoyed it at the party.... looking forward to brewing it...


you say to put the whirfloc in for 60 mins... I've always done 15... have I been doing it wrong?

[Jimmy Orkin]

Rob,

I meant to say add whirlflock according to your normal schedule. I put it in at 15 minutes also. I'll edit the original post to clarify.
