I'm interested to hear other's views of another one of those brewing pseudo-myths - mash hopping.
Personally, while still experimenting, I'm a fan. I find it gives a smoother and more subtle hop flavour which can be appropriate with some brews.
I'm about to start on an APA with significant mash hopping - say around half the IBU's. To that end I'm keen to hear what bitterness extraction rates you use. I've seen various estimates from -80% to -30% (relative to a 60m boil). To my taste I put it around -50% or roughly equivalent to a 15m boil for brews around the 1050 OG mark.
What rates do you use - especially if you use ProMash or Beersmith?
Any other thoughts you care to share?
Any hops or brews with which you find it particularly good - or otherwise?
Cheers.
