You mean your not an explosives expert? Bloody beer notes.

Synthesis and explosives go hand in hand
@ThirstyBoy - good response. One question, when you compared NC vs rapid chilling and included a small whirlpool rest did you take into account the difference in thermal mass of your 2L experiments vs a standard size single batch (20L)? A 2L batch will naturally cool down much quicker than a 20L batch. Not knocking you, just throwing out a query.
But i disagree, it's not an art at all. It's very much science. You could, if you had the right equipment, approach this question from a very scientific point of view. The reason why it hasn't been answered satisfactorily in the scientific literature is that commercial breweries chill and thus the answer is irrelevant to them. And yes, i have searched (and not via google scholar).
The end result is beer and you brewed it yourself.
If you are happy with it then it doesn't matter whether NC adds bitterness or not. :chug:
