I am brewing a DIPA today and I want to FWH it. This would be my first try at FWH, so I want to make sure I do it right. I've read that using high AA hops for the FWH addition is bad juju, but is 8% too high?
I've also read that you should move your late additions to the FWH addition, but that other authors say not to change your hop schedule when FWH. Which one is right?
Here is the current draft of my recipe. I would appreciate feedback on my hop schedule.

Do I need to remove the late hops or are they good where they are? Based on what I have read of FWH and the fact that this is DIPA, it looks like a decent hop schedule, but the differing opinions on keeping the late hops or not has me worried. Thanks.
