After having made a few attempts at AIPAs recently, I am finding that the hop profile going in is getting good IBUs in brewmate (last one was 70 IBUs) but are not delivering, at least to my palate, the bitterness and intensity of flavour I have been chasing. All the hops are 2010 or 11 and only recently opened, stored in the fridge, so think hop quality is not the issue. I use one of the craftbrewer hop socks.
I toss the 0 minute additions in, turn off the boil and leave for only a couple of minutes while I set up and drop in the immersion chiller and getting the chilling underway - which then usually takes 10- 15 minutes.
How long are people leaving the brew to settle for before chilling after 0 minute additions, and are you leaving the hop bag in during this time?
