So I have brewed about 20 batches of beer so far and loving the hobby so far but Im used to Belgian Blondes and regular Ales. I am looking to have some fun and do a JUICY NEIPA from Clawhammer Supply.
I have a couple of questions.
I am looking for a low bitterness beer so I found one that has add no hops in the boil but instead at 175 degree mark. My thinking is as I am cooling down my wort just add the hops in at 175 and slowly stir to get the "Whirlpool" effect. I will stir for about 10 to 15 minutes as its cooling down. So my question is do I continue to cool it down while i am whirpooling or stop Immersion Chiller for the 10-15 minutes and then start it back up again to cool down to 65 degrees?
My second question is when dry hopping at the 72 hour mark, they state they put in the hops for only 3 days and took it out. Is it okay to just put it in at the 72 hour mark and just leave them in the entire time or should i attempt to fish out the small hop bag 3 days after adding the hops?
THanks guys and happy brewing
Stay safe out there
