I'm relatively new to brewing, but learning gradually. My question is about the 'middle' times when adding hops. I know that:
60 to 45 mins is mostly for bittering
5 to 0 mins is mostly for aroma
But what about the times in between?
Is there an ideal time for 'flavoring' a beer?
What happens to the flavor (not bitterness) going from 10 minutes to 30 minutes, does it get more diluted or stronger at certain times? Would 15 minutes have more flavor than 30 minutes, or should the quantity be split and added at both times?
Also, I've noticed IPAs can have plenty of hop additions (of the same hop), even every five minutes, some it adds a 'fuller' or more 'complex' flavor. But lagers usually only have 1 to 3 hop additions, shouldn't they follow the same schedule, but with smaller quantities?
Just looking for some general flavor/boil time info, any you can provide me with will help.
