    Because hop flavor and aroma is also going to be dependent upon when exactly you add them (staggered from 20 minutes on? Just at flameout? Doing a whirlpool?) Then, dependent on how quickly you can chill, and your method of transferring the wort to the fermentor (excess hop debris causing vegetal flavors which may be undesirable?), and also the quality of the hops, how they were stored, etc., will be more evident at this point, as well.

    Any esters and phenols produced during fermentation will, I believe, affect hop flavor and aroma moreso than the bitterness, as well.

    Also, the finished package (which, yes, affects the bitterness, too): clarity of the final product, the role of carbonation, sufficient age (ha!) to balance any harsh bitterness and alcohol while not sacrificing the aroma of the dry hops.

    I can make lagers, double snap.

    I need to add, that review by Flan was hilarious, I thought he was going to cream his pants.

    That way your stupid idea of 14oz of bittering hops can mellow out. Although you may lose some flavor and aroma from the delicate and extremely difficult to comprehend late hop additions.
