Thanks for clearing that up for me.

So if my hop schedule looked like this:

.5 oz Cascade at 60 min
.5 oz Cascade at 20 min
.5 oz Cascade at 10 min
.5 oz Cascade at 0 min

Would I take the 10 min. addition and use those in FWH, or the 10 and 20 minute additions? This is going to be for my 2 row/nugget smash. Im going to make 2 small batches, the first being hopped as per the above schedule, the second with FWH. Thanks for your help everyone!

Since FWH gives you all the bitterness of a 60 minute addition and some of the flavor of a late addition I'd move the 60 min addition to FWH and leave the rest the same.

I'm not sure that that's right.

I've read that the bittering contribution of FWH is closer to that of a 20 minute addition.

You'll need more hops at FWH to equal that of a 60 minute addition. I think you'd need closer to 1.5 oz FWH to equal the bittering of your 60 minute addition... Could be wrong though...

I don't think that's quite right. I'm fairly sure that FWH-ing slightly increases the IBUs, but because it gives a less harsh bitterness it can come across as smoother and less kick-you-in-the-face bitter than non-FHW beers. The FWH beers I've done have all been plenty bitter.
