A couple questions:
1) Both FWH and mash hopping are supposed to put more aroma in your final product if I am not mistaken, but with the low utilization and the potential no bittering with mash hopping, whats the point? Since FWH can be used for bittering as well wouldn't this be the better all around answer?
2) I have read in a couple places of the various results with FWH, notably better success with noble hops, less success with others. Can anyone verify this? For example: Say I have Summit and Sterling hops, are they both ok for FWH (depending on style) or should I limit FWH to the Summits.
