Hi, I'm making a St Arnold Xmas Clone and it's asking to add Liberty Hops with (0) minutes left in the boil. Am I reading that right ? If so, what does that do and how long after the boil should the hops sit ?
Brewno said:Does it say "0 minutes left" or just "add at 0 minutes"
I would interpret the latter to mean at the "start" of the boil.

PseudoChef said:No, the brewing nomenclature would have the longest time as the start of the boil, most usually 60 minutes. That is the duration that the hops should be boiled. So if it says "0 minutes" you should not boil them, just add them once the brewpot is off the heat.
Brewno said:The recipes I get from my LHBS are reversed I guess. The additions usually read something like: Add extract return to a boil and then add hops. At 45 minutes add flavoring hops and at 58 minutes add finishing hops 60 minutes remove from heat.
