On a fairly recent Can You Brew It episode they stated that one of Jamil's beers at Heretic is only hopped with flameout hops. Not only that but they also mentioned that his beer was too hoppy(I didn't catch whether they meant too bitter or too aromatic) since he couldn't cool his wort down fast enough. Apparently he had to install a new tank to facilitate in cooling the wort down faster. Their feeling is that a 30 minute or so whirlpool is equal to roughly a 20 min hop addition as far a bittering goes. Their discussion went further to say that a 30 minute whirlpool/hot rest at flameout also increases the bittering of late addition hops in the boil.
What is your opinion of this? Anyone made a beer with flameout hops only? Do you believe that I could put 2 oz of Citra in at flamout and get 40 ibus after a 30 minute whirlpool when 4 oz at 5 min will get me the same amount if I chill immediately at flameout?
I'd love to see some discussion about it.
