think I should add one more ounce of high alpha as FWH?
Quote from: blatz on October 31, 2012, 08:09:25 amthink I should add one more ounce of high alpha as FWH?Can't hurt, but that's my palate. On a side note, I've never used Simcoe as FWH or bittering in fear of the dreaded cat pee. Have you used it as FWH before? Ever got any cat pee flavors? I'm working on a dank/piny IPA with Simcoe/Chinook/Columbus. I'd love to FWH with some Simcoe, but I've heard a few reports that boiling Simcoe too long can give some cattiness.
I FWH with Simcoe whenever I use Simcoe. Never an issue. Although I have never had cat pee and can't comment on its flavor..
Is a active circulating whirlpool required for extraction? I ask because I do not have a pumpy but do stir like mad after flameout. It only moves for a few minutes then dies off quickly.Would hop "steeping" for 20 to 30 minutes provide similar results? I guess I could improvise some do-hicky for my drill to get a cylone going (no air though) if it would help.
