So I tried typing this recipe into BeerSmith 2.0 and I get very different numbers for the IBU contribution for the FWH Cascade addition. Under the First Wort option I can set the time anywhere from 0-60 minutes but what is confusing to me is that all these FWH will be in the boil for the full 60 minutes so how will the time of 0-60 minutes vary? Thus, should I let the first runnings flow over the FWH and collect this in a separate container and then add it to the boil at the specified time of 0-60 minutes?
Thus, do I put the 20 minutes FWH hops into a mason jar and run some of the first runnings from the wort over them so they can steep until it is time to add them to the boil or do they just steep with all of the rest of the first runnings and really boil for 60 minutes? I would really like to try this to see if the later FWH additions impact the flavor hops in APAs.
