I used to copy recipes verbatim and just remove the hop spider shortly after for flame out hops etc. i.e 40 grams of hops for 5 minutes. Then remove the spider and a majority of the hops.
I feel like I’m wasting hops and money here so I’ve started to not use the spider and adding late hops at 80 degrees in the cube and flame out hops at pitching.
My question is, is using the hop spider and removing a majority of the hop matter minutes after adding a smart, efficient way to go or should I adjust for no chill and change my hop timing accordingly?
Or is this just a choice thing, I feel like adding 40 grams at pitching is more bang for my buck then for 5 minutes at flame out.
Few beers deep so apologies if this makes no sense.
