Title: What did I get out of my hops adding them in at 150?
Post by: babalu87 on April 12, 2010, 12:04:16 PM: Between be being a maroon and my lovely kids I said OH SH!T the one minute hops!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
While I was cooling the wort...................wort was at 150 when the hops went in.

Not worried about infections but what do you think I will get from the hops...........its almost the last of my homegrown Mt Hoods :-[

Yeah, I'm just wondering how much aroma.

I could certainly dry hop it for a bit if its lacking.

Yeah, I've done the 180-190ish additions as flameout additions in the past and liked the results.
We'll see if the extra 30 or so degrees and contact time make a difference.

I think it should fall somewhere in the middle of a dry hop and flameout addition but please let us know how it tastes.
