I had an idea for extracting more hop flavor and aroma for my hop forward beers. Boil 8oz of water in a mason jar. Wait until it cools to 150f, add 1oz of my favorite hop pellets and immediately seal the lid, wait 24 hours to allow the trapped aromas to condense and then add it to my IPA. I haven't tried it yet, just an idea. Not sure why I chose 150f but I've had good luck adding hops to the whirlpool at this temp but I must lose some aromas to evaporation.
Maybe a more ideal temp?
What can I expect?
Any thoughts?
