First wort hopping questions

Not changing the post to NEIPA…and stated that above.

I just found it interesting in this recipe that it calls for a FWH addition and no hop additions during the boil…
This is on point with this thread.

I had stated earlier that I don’t do both ( FWH and 60 minute additions) which “i thought” generated some disagreements.

Didn’t say change it. it is on point for the thread but could be a recipe someone may be interested in…oh never mind…

You thought right…we do disagree…just no rise in BP and I believe our disagreement lies in the context.

I believe some styles, like the west coast style IPAs among others, require a sharper bitterness. In those cases FWH can not replace 60 minute bittering hops.

That was my point when I said FWH is “not the same” bitterness as 60 minute hops. IBU measurements notwithstanding.

Its all good discussion.

FWH or 60 min additions or both.

If both
I would think it would be a percentage
Of the original total with the recipe’s total IBU target in mind.
