Hi all!
Do whirlpool hop additions add IBUs? I would like to know for general purposes when creating recipes, but also because I had an unusually long wort chill time for a brew last night. I brewed a higher volume of wort then usual and ran out of ice during the ice bath.
I added an ounce of hops immediately after putting the wort in the ice bath. It cooled down to 120 in about 10 minutes, and then down to about 100 at about 40 minutes, but then the ice was gone and took about another 70 minutes to get down to 70. So overall about 2 hours to get down to 70 where I pitched the yeast.
I've been trying to perfect my IBUs for mild to moderate amount of bitterness and starting wondering if the long chill time would add a few IBUs an bump my bitterness up.
Any insight into this out there?
Thanks!!
