I have to see -- this is a continuously hopped ale with a *lot* of
Chinook and, since whole hops soak up a lot of liquid, we'd have to
start with more liquid (i.e. might not fit in the kettle, feh ... or I
have to redo concentration and bitterness calculations and and and ...).

Since we have whole leaf hops we may as well do something with
them. Supposedly they make filtering the trub out when racking easier.
