In this range, the temperature is high enough that some hops alpha acids are still being isomerized, adding bitterness. This is the range you might use if you still want to add some IBUs to your beer while also adding some hops oils.
At the higher temperature, however, you do risk vaporizing a larger portion of hops oils. In this range, there is little isomerization going on, so you will not be adding much bitterness. Also, volatilization is reduced, so you will preserve more hops oils. Fortunately, the wort is still hot enough to allow good solubility for the oils.
This is a good compromise range to use if you are looking to preserve hops oils with minimal whirlpool time, and it is probably a good range for homebrewers to work in since it does not require an excessively long whirlpool. In this range, you will volatilize the fewest hops oils, but your hops will also require a longer whirlpool time due to lower solubility at the lower temperature.
This is a range you might want to try when trying to preserve oils such as myrcene, which has low solubility and is also highly volatile, as it is less likely to vaporize.
I couldn't get to sleep last night as the thought suddenly occurred to me that I am losing out on flavour or clarity or something! I think I have generally been a successful home brewer, I've only ever had one ruined batch due to infection and one batch where I think I abused the yeast but otherwise always fine.
However since I shifted from my home-made bucket boiler to the klarstein and started using hop bags rather than dumping the pellets in I feel like my beers are getting more of that "homebrew" taste. Any advice or comments on whether I should be whirlpooling, hop standing or anything else gratefully received. My experiences with whirlpooling have been underwhelming. I typically do it after the wort is chilled, since I mostly use an immersion chiller and don't brew many beers that call for "whirlpool hops".
So if I am diligent, create a very strong whirlpool by stirring the heck out of the wort for a good minutes and let it settle for 20 minutes or more, yes the trub does settle out in the center of my kettle and the wort that goes into my fermenter is clearer.
I just cannot speak to whether that has actually made a difference in any of my beers. Nicks90 Landlord. Unless I am reading the science totally wrong, isn't 'whirlpool' hops just adding the hops to hot wort to extract additional flavour, but not so hot as to extract extra bitterness? However combine it with a whirlpool effect does mean the loose hops and trub collects in the middle and doesn't end up in your fv. Drunkula Landlord. Joined Nov 30, Messages 2, Reaction score 2, I was listening to the Brewstrong podcast last night and they were saying whirlpooling on a homebrew level isn't something worth doing.
Joined Nov 12, Messages 3, Reaction score 2, I don't whirlpool, I don't impede the hops by using bags or hop spider, I have a 3 meter long helix coiled at the bottom of the kettle. This filters hop debris and break material out of the fermenter, I used the spider once recently and it definitely reduces the input of the hops.
Put a lid on your kettle this helps to retain the essential hop oils in the wort and leave to steep for 20 minutes. Simple Whirlpool Hop Procedure. May 21, Brewing Step 2 Stir the wort in your boil kettle using a mash paddle or appropriate spoon to create a whirlpooling motion.
Step 3 Put a lid on your kettle this helps to retain the essential hop oils in the wort and leave to steep for 20 minutes. Related Products. Normally, we associate spinning with a tendency for things to move outward, like when you ride the big swing carousel at an amusement park. In a rotating volume of liquid, however, there is a solid boundary the kettle wall beyond which liquid cannot move. Furthermore, friction at the solid-liquid interface the wall and the bottom of the kettle slows the spinning liquid more effectively at the edges than the liquid slows itself in the middle.
The resulting pressure difference the higher the speed, the lower the pressure induces a secondary circulation that flows down along the wall, then inward along the bottom of the kettle toward the center, up the central axis of rotation, and finally, when it nears the surface, back toward the wall.
Attention science nerds! This is classic Ekman flow. When we stop forcing the liquid to spin, that secondary circulation pulls light particles such as hops and trub toward the center of the kettle, where they deposit themselves neatly into a little cone. The reason the whirlpool was invented in the first place was to push sediment toward the center of the kettle after the boil.
