The hops won't. Are you fementing it somewhere away from daylight or flourescents? If not, stick a bin bag over it - my patent Skunk-Be-Gone device. Lightstruck beer isn't pleasant.

SteveD, it's going to spend it's fermentation days exactly how I live - in the dark :lol:

Going to drop it to a secondary as i think i transferred too much of the cold break matter.

Do the youngs semi-translucent buckets block out significantly more light than the see-through ones :?:

Don't know. But, eminent brewing persons recommend putting a bin bag over king kegs to avoid lightstruck beer if the kingkegs are kept in daylight. My fermenter is white opaque plastic and it sits in my boiler (cooling water jacket) for fermentation, and I still put a bin bag over it. My kingkegs are kept in a dark shed, and with cornies it doesn't matter. :D
