hops @ 0 minutes
Okay, now that I'm a little beyond beginning brewing into intermediate, I ran across a recipe that calls for hops at 0 min of the boil. When exactly do I put that in the boil and when would I take those hops out?

Re: hops @ 0 minutes
My very first batch was a pale ale that called for hops at 0 minutes. I do not use any bags with my hop pellets and allow them to settle out during two-stage fermentation. So, in this case, at the end of the 60 boil time, I turned off my heat and I threw in my pellets and stirred them in. I believe this end of boil addition is for adding aroma to your brew. Maybe someone else can chime in with the duration part of your question if you are planning on taking them out. Good luck!

Re: hops @ 0 minutes
miguelito's you got it right, it is an aroma hops and you do add it at the end of the boil. i usually use a nylon paint strainer bag in my fermenting bucket when i transfer the cooled wort from the boil kettle if i use hop pellets, with whole hops you don't need it, it filters itself. you can also dry hop in a hop bag at the end of fermenting and transfer to a secondary, and take it out when you transfer to a keg or bottleing bucket.

Shineman - when you dry hop, how do you sanitize your hop bag? Boil it? Spray down with sanitizer?

Re: hops @ 0 minutes
if i dry hop in a keg then i might add a few sanitized marbles to the bag so it will sink down into the beer.

Re: hops @ 0 minutes
what would the difference of result in doing a 0 minute boil and dry hop? because either way you aren't hot enough to add alpha acid, or am I wrong?

Re: hops @ 0 minutes
Personally I would think that the aroma would have less time to dissipate from dry hopping as opposed to knockout additions but I haven't been able to verify that.

Re: hops @ 0 minutes
I just add the hops at 0 minutes and ferment the beer.. Sometimes i dry hop on top of that to really give the beer the aroma I like.

I would have to buy into that thought Wild. I just finished a pale ale that I dry hopped. It has way more aroma than my first pale ale that had a hop addition at 0 minutes and no dry hopping. Boy does it smell good when I bring it to my lips.
