Hey guys,
I have made several recipes that call for hops at flameout.. I have always been curious about something.. See, when I turn the flame off, I immediately use a sanitized hand strainer and manually scoop the hops out before I proceed to chill and rack.. I know some guys just chill and dump the wort, hops and all, into the fermenter, but I don't.. So my question is, if I am adding aroma hops at flameout, and them immediately straining, am I really getting any benefit from those additions? Should I add the hops at flameout and then wait a little while before I strain? What do you guys think?
thanks
