Following a great sounding recipe from here soon (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f71/el-segundo-grado-witbier-87679/) but have a question about when to add wheat flour for haze( in the keg?) and when to add its corn sugar into the wort. The original poster hasn't responded to my question yet,any...

I'm doing an all grain English ale right now and my question is should I scrape the hops "ring"(for lack of a better word) during my boil going on right now back into the wort (with a sanitized spatula) or just leave it be?

I'm fairly new to brewing and have a question about nitrogen or beer gas for a Hoegaarden clone. I love the smoothness of Boddington's and Guinness but I love the taste of Hoegaarden. Is nitrogen viable for this? Will it change the taste? Any help is appreciated.
