I read something about this somewhere (hah) and I think the discussion went on wheter or not you actually get as much hop extraction when you just boil it in plain water without any sugars. Have you found anyone else that has done it before with good hop extraction? I use a cfc so I don't have any problems chilling 40 liters of wort in 30 minutes down to pitching temperature.
