Just brewed a clone of Russian Rivers Hill 2 Row 56 Pale Ale and it called for a flameout addition of 1oz of Simcoe.
Using Beersmith calculated it should steep for 10mins to reach the proper IBU extraction and then I started to run the wort through my counterflow chiller which took about 20mins.
I never thought about it until then, shouldn't I have plugged that addition in Beersmith at 20 instead of 10mins since the wort in the kettle is still around 200degrees and there is still alpha acid isomerization going on and just started running it through the chiller as soon as I added the hops and not let it sit first?
It would increase the IBUs and possibly effect the aroma from that last addition, or not?
Thoughts?
