I once tried this on a Christmas ale and it worked pretty well.
Pour the boiled hops out from the hop bag and into the fermenter and let those hops sit in there the whole time all the way through fermentation and then right into the keg. Came out nice and spicey for the winter warmer.
Would this work for other ales? Would "dry hopping" (not really) spent hops add IBUs? I would think not, but I wanted to get some advice.
