OK, so I've had good success using high AA hop choices @ 60mins (Summit, Magnum, Simocoe) and then saving my more typical flavor hops for late in the boil or after flameout (Citra, Cascade, Wilamette, etc) but is there any science to this? Like how much flavor am I getting @ 30min? 20min? 10min? Obviously the later you add the more the flavor vs bitter you get but there's gotta be more to it than that no?
I see some of these recipes and they have a dozen hop additions during the boil and I wonder does that really matter that much and if so how?
Like if I add 10g of Citra @ 30 I get 10 IBUs
If I add 15g of Citra @ 15 I also get 10 IBUs
If you brewed two identical beers and did one with multiple additions every 5-10 mins vs a boil where you consolidated those into 3 additions would you be able to tell the difference? How?
