Should I do this as soon as I shut off the fire, or wait until the trub settles a bit?
Many people turn off the flame, reduce the temperature to 180 or so, and hold it there for the time of the whirlpool before chilling the rest of the way. That's the way I learned, anyway, and the way the brewers I know tend to do it. After the whirlpool time is up, the wort is chilled the rest of the way and run off to the fermenter.
In that case just add your hops late in the boil. I only whirlpool my NEIPAyes its possible, steam keeps happening for a while even below 160 some times, I just have a long brew day and I get impatient and hoppy beer isn't my main goal anyway so for me it doesn't matter
edit:, the issue with me is I want the hops settled before I send the wort through my herms coil
