So, I've had a few recipes that require a 0 minute hop addition. I have been doing just that, droping them in the kettle (I do a full wort boil) and shutting off the flame.

Is this right, or what?

Right!

Kewl. I'm doing a pale ale today with a rather complex hop schedule, the last of which is 1.75oz of Cascade at 0 minutes.

Thanks guys....

It allows the hot wort to extract the aroma part of the hop without driving it off in the boil.

Here's something for you to try-

Take your 1 3/4 oz of cascade, and use 3/4 oz at 0 (flameout), and save 1 oz for a hop tea when you rack to secondary.

Bring a quart or so of water to a boil - cut the heat - add the hops - steep for 10-15 minutes.
Strain out the leaves and let it cool. Add the juice to your secondary instead of dry hopping.

is this to simulate the flameout addition but save the hops from scrubbing in the primary?

Brewdog, that sounds tasty. I'm gonna try a Hazed & Infused in a few weeks; I've got a Helles bock in the cooler now, and will put this pale ale next to it, and I have a pilsner ready to go but need to make room in the chiller!

It simulates dry hopping without the grassiness.

Sounds like something I need to do.

So if adding hops at flameout is the right way to do it, what is so special about DFH 60, 90, and 120 min IPA?

The continuous hopping schedule DFH uses creates an incredible hop profile!

For the second batch I made, I hopped in smallish amounts at 60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, and flameout.

Anyone try the hop tea idea instead of dry hopping? I'm curious to hear how it worked.

Yes, I tried it. Very smooth addition to the hop profile; I used Cascades, and like the guys described it added the aroma, but no bitter.

I'm working on a pale ale that uses a lemon grass (my own concoction) along with cascades, similar to sierra nevada but slightly higher mash temp for a sweeter finishing brew, coupled witht he citrus of cascades and a hint of lemon I think will give me a cross between Corona and a Shandy.....should be a good hot weather brew...

trouble is I'm on the road now for like 2 months......

My IIPA (still in secondary) used 10 oz in additions at 30, 25, 20, 15, 10, 5, and 0.....totaling 104 IBU.

This recipe is in secondary right now. (http://www.realbeer.com/discussions/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12596#post153982)
