Hi all.
Based on my technique, what would you suggest my hop utilization on whirlpool additions should be? I currently set it at 6% but have a few beers coming up that are hop monsters and don't want too many IBUs.
I run an 8 bbl
Most beers are Whirlpool-only additions with a fwh. At knockout i begin re-circ/cooldown to get the beer from 100 to 85.
At 90 degrees c i will toss in all hops and carry on cooling until 85.
Whirlpool at 85 for 30 mins, only dropping a couple of degrees at most.
Rest for 5 minutes.
Begin transfer to fv via PHE.
Like i said, my current utilization is set to 6% based on estimates. Brewer's friend doesn't really help in terms of time/temp/hops. I suppose this is due to the fact non-boil additions are so hard to figure.
Thanks
Sean
