Yes, I think you can. I have an old brewing instruction book (1800's, if I remember right) that explains that this was the way to do, unless one was brewing a "double beer", in which case the hops had to be boiled with the wort, as no water was going to be added. -H P.S. I suppose boling a bit of hops both in the wort and in the additional water would make sense, as the hops contain anti-bacterial things, which should help to fight infections at the sensitive cooling stage. -- Heikki Levanto heikki at indexdata dot dk "In Murphy We Turst"
