Adding hops at only 10 min and 1 min

[auric82]

I was listening to a Jamil podcast and he said with some of his beers he will put in his bittering hops at 10 min left and aroma at 1 min left. His recommendation was to use software (like beer smith) to make sure the ibu count stays the same.

I am brewing a pale ale tomorrow and I was going to give it a shot. Thoughts?

Late additions are great. You get tons of flavor and aroma and very little bitterness. Highly recommended for a pale ale.

For the very late additions (like 1 min or 0 mins), I prefer to skip and dry hop instead.

Here's a very simple IBU calculator: http://www.brewersfriend.com/ibu-calculator/

You might have miss understood.

Roughly 8 minutes you get the most aroma from the addition.

Roughly 20 minutes you get the most flavor from the addition.

And your bittering of course the longer the boil the higher the utilization.

What's the source of that graph?

What's the source of that graph?

It's not a very accurate depiction of what actually happens during a boil, but it's pretty!

I've never started hopping as late as 10 minutes, but my favorite "hop bursting" recipe starts with the first additions at 20 minutes. As long as the IBUs are the same, you get HUGE hops aroma and flavor along with the bitterness. The thing is, you may need three times the hops as you would need in a traditional 60/15/0 recipe!
