I'm wondering if it makes sense to have a hop utilization assumption for whirlpooling but not aroma (zero time boil hops), as the current system does.
If I am whirlpooling around 170 and assume ~11% hop utilization for an IBU contribution, it seems we also assume some IBU contribution from the hops we threw in at flameout, prior to whirlpooling. What are others doing to address this? Do you classify flameout additions as whirlpool additions, and assume a higher utilization?
