Anyone ever FWH this with good results? Doing first AG today, and I've only heard good things about FWH, but not sure if it's appropriate here. |

I've never tried it with this recipe, or any other one yet.

Ed, I gotta say, it's fantastic. I don't do it in every beer, but I do it wherever I'm looking for a good hops presence. Unless you need to boil down a lot of volume, it's great. In terms of taste, my uneducated palate would guess its equivalent to a 20 minute hop addition, but of course with the full bitterness of a 60 minute addition. Especially in these times of shortage, it's a great thing to play around with... especially for lower-gravity beers that will finish faster and bring more of the flavor/aroma into the finished product without the long secondary.

It's normal practice for me now. I FWH all my bittering hops. I've noticed that the early back-of-the-throat bite is not there any more. Hence...no more waiting for the beer to mellow to drinkability.

First wort hopping. Throw your bittering addition in the boil pot as you sparge to it. Works great!

I built a MLT from a 5 gallon cooler this weekend in preperation to do a PM and while looking for recipes I found this one. At this point I think I am glad I used a 5 gallon cooler because I am just going to go ahead and go AG for the first time.
Thanks for converting me to the darkside so early in my brewing career Ed.

Wow, it only took about 40 hours from pitching time to ferment! Airlock activity stopped, gravity 1.011. Incredible.
