Ive always kept my my boil additions in with the hopstand in my spider, but I may reconsider. I have a SS spider from Utahbio, and on my last brew, a Pliny clone, I noticed my spider was pretty "chunky" during the whirlpool (I even used hop extract for the 90 and 45 min), so I may try dumping the next time I whirlpool.
I will say, though, my Johnny Utah DIPA, I used a lot of hops and did a 45 min stand with a significant amount of hops, and didnt experience this. The beer turned out awesome, and friends raved about it. It was all Simcoe/Amarillo, so what hophead wouldnt like that combo?!:rockin:
