Im brewing a IIPA tomorrow and I want to use my hopsock (250 micron) to avoid losing to much to trub. Will I lose hope utilization if I just chuck all the hops in the bag and don't agitate it during the boil? Iv'e only brewed 1 other IIPA and I threw all the hops in the kettle which turned out to be losing around 6-7L to trub. I used some for yeast starters last time to save some but Im not sure about 500g of hops packed in a hop sock. Will the hops in the middle be giving away their alfa acids?
