So, I'm a smart guy, but sometimes with new ideas i need the whole picture put out in front of me.
From what I've read so far about the FW hopping technique, you move some of your 20-0 min additions to the pot while draining the mash tun. a 30% is mentioned, which seems like a lot. Does this replace any of your bittering additions, or is it really as simple as moving your 20-0 minutes additions to before the boil, and use bittering as you would normally?
For example:
typical method
60 min - 1 oz bittering hop
20 min - 1 oz aroma/finishing hop
5 min - 1 oz aroma/finishing hop
FWH hopping method.
FWH - 1 OZ aroma/finishing hop
60 min - 1 oz bittering hop
5 min - 1 oz aroma/finishing hop
Am i grasping this correctly?
