What is a 0 minute hop addition?

It means putting an addition of hops at flameout, or when you turn off the kettle. Those late addition hops can add hop aroma and some nice flavor.

How much hops should I add to my beer?

A standard rule of thumb is to use about 0.5 oz (14 g) of hops per gallon (3.8 l). Three to 7 days is a good target for contact time. Any less and you won’t pick up as much hops aroma, while extended periods can produce an undesirable grassy profile.

Many brewers add hops at 15 or 20 minute intervals and usually in multiples of a half ounce (for ease of measurement). 75 is a constant for the conversion of English units to Metric. The proper units for IBUs are milligrams per liter, so to convert from ounces per gallon a conversion factor of 75 (74.89) is needed.
