Is the addition of hops at different times in the boil simply about balancing between bittering and flavor?
If I can achieve the same IBUs by adding all my bittering hops at 60 minutes rather than splitting the additions between 60 min and 45 min(or whatever times) is there any reason to have two hop additions? Is it just a matter of fine tuning bitterness or is there another reason to split the hop additions?
What is the difference between flavoring and finishing hops? Is it simply a bitterness/flavor dichotomy or are there other differences?
