Hi
I am planning a 60min IPA. My recipe askes for 20grams of hops at whirlpool. Now, I recently started to use a counter flow chiller with excellent results. Using my old immersion chiller in a bucket filled with ice water to pre-chill the water I get my 20l of wort down to pitching temp in no time.
My question is, when doing a whirlpool hop addition, how long must I wait before removing the wort from the boiler through the cfc to my fermenter?
Second question, not really related, what is the general thought on trub/hops in the fermenter? I know there will always be a little trub/hops in the fermenter, but I have heard of brewers dumping everything from the boiler into there fermenter, especially with an brew like an IPA that has a lot of trub.
Thx
