Evening Folks;
Has anyone tried cooling the wort to a lower temperature before adding whirlpool hops?
My thoughts are if the wort cooled to a temp of 70º-80ºC (158º-176ºF)
Then add hops;
Whirlpool 15 min, rest 15 min
Transfer to FV.
Would there be enough effect to gain a better aroma and flavour from the hops using this method?
I also plan to dry hop, but I find that the great aroma and flavour really does not last when dry hopping, and frankly the volume yield after dry hopping sucks...so my thoughts are to go back to a more old school mentality of adding a lot of hops in the whirlpool, and hope I need to add less hops I dry hop with.
Curious to hear your thoughts on this.
Thanks
