Probably a dumb question, but I though I would confirm.
I had always left mine in as I used to use an immersion chiller and there seemed to be no harm and a number of recipes call for 0 min additions.
I recently up-sized my rig and went to rims and whirlpool and found my hop container (hooked to the side of my pot) was getting in the way of my whirlpool, so I pulled it during cooling.
I started thinking about it and wondered if late addition short timed hops were having a more bittering effect than intended...
I can always build a spider to hold the hops if that's the way it should be.
