Let's say you have 100g of aroma hops. Does it make any difference when you add the hops to the boil on the total amount of aroma in the beer? In other words, do you get the same amount of aroma whether you add them at the beginning of the boil, or during a post-boil hop stand? BTW, I know that the bitterness is affected but I'm just asking about the aroma side of the equation.
If early boil hop aroma disappears, then why wouldn't we use a purely bittering, high alpha hop early in the boil, saving all the aroma hops for later?
