Later this week I will be attempting my first recipe utilizing whirlpool hops. I notice that as expected, BS 2.0 attributes no IBU's to flameout hop additions, however, my 10 min whirlpool additions are contributing several IBUS. I am not clear on exactly how whirlpool hops work in terms of IBU addition.
I plan to leave my flameout hops in the kettle during whirlpool, will that not also add additional IBUs since they will effectively be whirlpool hops at that point? The recipe is calling for 10 min whirlpool, am I correct that i need to keep the wort temp above 170 during those 10 mins?
This is a super hoppy wheat beer, but it is all flameout and whirlpool hops minus some hop extract at 60min. I usually don't obsess this much with IBU, but would like to try to better understand my software as well as protect the balance of this brew.
Thanks
