For lack of better term I'm calling it a reverse hopstand.
What are effects on hop utilization and bitterness profile between:
1. Adding hops to water at boil (95 C at my altitude), immediate flameout, leaving hops in for 25 minutes during cooling (to 75 C), then remove hop bag.
2. Adding hops to 75 C water, warming for 25 minutes when at that time boil is achieved, immediate flameout, remove hop bag?
I'm perplexed on this one, but am trying to ascertain a method to combine steeping grains and hop additions either during the heating or cooling stages...to save significant time (to answer the inevitable questions out there).
And I suppose if "water" is changed to "wort", same question?
