From what I understand, FWH is adding hops to the kettle and then draining wort from the mash into the kettle all while heating it.
In my setup I currently have a 15 gallon pot. I mash in, and start heating the sparge water sometime during the mash. I drain the first runnings into a bucket, then add my first batch. Wait a bit, then drain into the bucket again.
I add the rest of my sparge water to the mash tun so that my kettle is now empty, then slowly pour from the bucket into the kettle while the second batch rests.
My question is, would it be better to add the FWH into the bucket as my first runnings are drained into it, or add them to the kettle before I pour the first runnings + first sparge into it?
