Hi all,
I've have around seven (7) brew sessions under my belt doing full-boil extract based recipes. When I add my hops, I put them in a hop sock and let them steep the stated time (viz. 60 minutes, 30 minutes, etc..). When the boil time is complete ( usually 60 minutes), I remove the hop socks, cool the wort, and then pour it into my carboy.
My question is with a hop addition specified as flame-out, I assume I can't put the hops in a hop sock at all and just throw the hops into the wort after removing the kettle from the flame. Is that correct?
Also, just to check on my process. As mentioned, I remove the hops (and socks) at the end of boil and before cooling the wort with a chiller. Should I instead be leaving the hops ( and socks) in the wort as it cools too? I'm thinking not, but just want to confirm.
Thanks for any advice!
