Interesting recipe. When did people start whirlpool hopping?

from  the sister of the sun recipe instructions
" The finishing hop has been doubled, and I now add that while chilling -- I do not boil the hop at that stage. "

sounds like this person stumbled across a form of whirlpool hopping

That's been around since before I started brewing and it's called a flameout addition.  You put it in and let it sit.  You didn't whirlpool.

what's the difference? one the hop sits, the other the hops swirls?

after looking at the sister of the sun IPA recipe, I am now convinced more than ever that hot side chinook hopping makes an amazing IPA

Who said it didn't?    I also love it for dry hopping.

as do I. I think alot of people think its has an excessively harsh bittering quality, but I have never found it to be true, its an assertive and satisfying bittering.

Yep, that's the difference.

That's fun. I should try that Sister Star of the Sun IPA.

Denny, I thought you had a strong dislike of fuggles?

I do, except in rare instances
