Knockout

Postby Art » Sat Nov 01, 2008 1:37 pm

I have the book by Palmer and I have seen the term knockout and I'm not sure what it means. The term is used in a recipe, that calls for so much extract during the boil and so much at knockout. Can someone clarify this for me?

Knockout in brewomg generally refers to the point at which you having finished boiling the wort and you turn off the heat to the burner. Aroma hops are often added at "knockout".

I never heard of extract being added at this point but....

I made some 8.5% once that knocked me out!!
Usually they call it flameout. But i guess if you are using electric that wouldnt make sense. I would think you would want to add it 15 minutes left at least to sterilize it. Maybe not.
