Whirlpool hot or chilled?

[Token]

I've been told for this recipe to whirlpool for 15 to 20 minutes. I've added hops at flameout in the past, but I've never done a whirlpool for a hop addition.

I was thinking of adding the hops at flameout and then do a gentle whirlpool/let it sit for 15 minutes total. Does that make sense? I have a very simple set-up; smaller kettle, stir spoon, ice bath chill. Any whirlpooling will be a stir with the long stir spoon.

After the 15 minutes, drop it in the ice bath.

Does that sound right?

I'm thinking it should be a simple process, but I've never done it before.

Yes, that'll work. I have a whirlpool attachment and pump for my kettle. But lacking all that techno crap, I would do as you described. Flameout, stir like the dickens with a sanitized spoon and let sit for 15 before you cool.

Stir like the Dickens. I can do that!

Thanks for the help.
