Due to a serious water shortage in our part of the world I have been doing no-chill and a modified no-chill brewing for quite some time. As I was boiling a batch of ESB this evening I got to thinking about the technical side of hops additions with this technique and thought that it might make for an interesting discussion.
Does using a no-chill technique change the time for introducing your late hop additions?
Since the beer is going to remain hot for quite a while after flame-out should we not wait until flame-out to add the late additions?
I'd be very interested to learn your take on this.
