Denny makes a good point on only moving the late addition hops. FWH, as I understand it from reading different articles, is this:
Move only late hop additions to FWH
Do not use this to replace BITTERING hops
Use about 30% of your total hop bill
If possible, use noble or low AA (finishing) hops, as there is increased utilization with a FWH.
Do not use this to replace bittering hops if you are looking for a hoppy beer, as stated, the perception of those IBUs, is different.
Somehow FWH went from moving only late addition hops, to it being a replacement for bittering hops, which is not what the texts I have studied made it out to be.
