So I'm not new to brewing but I am going to be doing my first all grain batch tomorrow. I was drinking a worm town hopulence and reading the back of the bottle. It says they do every hop addition for that beer. Great beer too which I'm sure is why it took the gold. It got me thinking though. So bear with me.
So I start my mash and while thats going in my other pot I'm heating my sparge water to 170. I'm going to be doing a batch sparge but it would probably work for both. Could and would it make sense to throw a couple oz of whole cone hops in the sparge water and let them stew at 170 until my mash is done. Then dump the water in and sparge.
Maybe this is already a method or maybe it's not worth it or just crazy. So I figured I would ask u guys and gals. Thanks
