First wort hopping and whirlpool

[Hooper]

I just made this beer this morning with a few changes in ingredients due to supplies.

I’m calling it “Boink IPA”

First time I did the 180/- addition was because I forgot to whirlpool at flame out and caught it on the drop moments later.  Worked great and didn’t worry thereafter - I will use this on lagers, too, occasionally.  Style shmile sometimes - it’s a hobby and I will treat it like one when I want… Glad to see I’m not alone with this approach.

Bingo. I love hops, and this technique (reduces temp whirlpool) allows me to add hop flavor to any style without having to worry about the bitterness balance off.

Yep.  I’ve done it with a couple lagers (Bo and German Pils) and liked the results quite a bit, too.
