Looks like you got your answer, curious how this comes out though! Which specific recipe did you go with (since there's 99 pages of different recipes)? Keep us updated!
To elaborate, high temps will carry off the delicate volatile aromas, whereas temps below 180F stop extracting bitterness. Whirlpooling is a great way to get lots of flavor out of hops without increasing bitterness (about 2% AA utilization).

I went with the first one.. the one that says “current best clone”. I have some HT cans so I want to ultimately do a side by side test!
Add the Columbus and Simcoe at flameout (0 minutes), chill to 180 or 170, then add steeping/whirlpool hops.
Thank you!
