flavor/aroma hops left in primary

So, I am curious.

Leaving flavor/aroma hops in my primary, good or bad?

I've been leaving them in and yeah when I rack to bottles, my bottling bucket is mostly devoid of them and the beer still tastes good. I've noticed if i let a fresh pour breath a minute or 2 there's less of a bite.

Though I havn't started secondary fermenting yet. My LBS is having a sale next week and I'm going to nab a few carboys so i can 1, do a secondary ferment and 2 make some Aplfelwein for the SWMBO :rockin:

Also next time I think I might add some irish moss to the end of the boil, but so far i've made hefe's... and i like those cloudy

I know where you're going.... I will be there too. To bad I need one more carboy before then. I need it now. But I may hold out anyways.

yup, love that place!

so maybe I better go monday so I know they will still have a carboy or 2 for me...

There's no problem leaving those hops in the primary. Even very late hop additions won't have any significant effect.
