Hi all,
I brewed a low IBU NEIPA today. The only hop addition during the boil was at 5 mins. It then called for a 15 minute whirlpool addition @ 170 degrees. There is no guidance on whether to remove the 5 min addition during cooling or leave it.
Questions: In recipes that call for the beer to be cooled slightly for a whirlpool addition, should you remove the previously added hops while the beer cools? Leave them in while the beer cools and during the whirlpool addition?
Thanks!
