Hi,
I've been wanting to try a dusseldorf alt recipe for a while, and I have also been intrigued by first wort hopping. From what I understand an altbier should lack the later hop additions. I thought of trying 1 oz (10 gal recipe) of Hallertau as a FWH addition. Does this seem like a decent idea?
Any other thoughts for hopping an altbier? I understand that spalt are a typical 60 min addition, although brewing classic style claims that spalt have a relatively unpleasant flavor... Thanks for the help!
