Hop Additions

So Ive been brewing for about 9 months now and I'm used to seeing recipes with hop additions and the addition times as well throughout the boil.  Ive decided to teach my roommate how to brew. He just recently bought a homebrew kit and the recipe he has calls for 4 hop additions: Bittering, flavoring, finishing, and dry hop. There are no times specified.  I'm pretty sure that the bittering addition is a full 60 min. boil(I thought it could be less than that also) and the dry hop I'm familiar with as well(I usually dry-hop in primary for 10 days after fermentation slows).

My question is at what point in the boil does the hop addition become flavoring/finishing?

Thanks for the help, Cheers!!

I personally add flavor hops with about 20 minutes left in the boil and aroma/finishing with about 7 minutes left. It can range a bit though. There are some charts online that will give you estimates at proper times to add these.

 

I would say flavoring at 10-15 minutes left and aroma right at flameout....wink

Agreed

 

Thanks guys for the input.

 

I cooked a Pilsner today that had four hop additions:

60 - 1oz
20 - .5 oz
10 -1.0z
Flameout - .5 oz

All the same hops (Sterling) but I'd not seen anything like that before...

 

I like to dry hop in the secondary.
