I'll give this a try myself in my next hoppy batch. Curious, if you feel you get more hop flavor by lowering the temp before adding your whirlpool/steeping hops, or is it just a method to limit bitterness without losing flavor?
If, for example, I'm brewing a DIPA that is clocking in around 100 IBU, then I'm not too worried about the bitterness. If it also adds flavor, then.........
