Is there a clear definition of the what and why of this practice? Appears to be popular with pilsners more than others.
I just cant see how adding around 30% of your 20 minute additions (just one technique I read about) to the kettle then boiling it for 60 - 90 minutes could have contribute anything other than bitterness.
Is there some funky reaction going on chemically whilst the hops sit in the run off?
If you've had a go at it, what was the result and in what style?
Edit: this might feel more at home in the common ground, so mods, feel free to shift it. I promise I wont cry.
