Not my intention to double-post and perhaps I could make a separate thread for this question, but I'll start here anyways. Since I now know how to accurately hit my pre-boil gravity by either adding more water to dilute it and then adjust the hops accordingly, or on the flip side boil down more to concentrate the wort, I'm trying to figure out in my head how to properly FWH. I would be hesitant to add them as I am sparging because I may need to boil longer to get the desired pre-boil gravity. Anyone how to to do this properly?
It's easy, don't fret over your preboil gravity as much, I use a refractometer to check post boil gravity, I check at 45 minutes into the boil, and adjust my burner a tad to boil faster or slower to hit my target gravity, I might be a tad over or under my volume but my gravity is usually spot on.
So to FWH, just toss in the hops before you boil, and stress over gravity at the midpoint, or a bit later to be sure you are on target.
