I tend to view hopping very simply: I typically FWH for whatever bittering I want, then possibly whirlpool additions at 170 and dry hop. I've been extremely happy with the results of my recipes.
I just don't see the point in 30 min, 15 min, 5 min type additions. Part does what the full boil addition does, part does what the whirlpool addition does...why not just get those aspects from those steps respectively?
What am I missing here? I feel like there must be more to it since so many recipes call for a multitude of intermediate boiling and flameout additions.
