I'm going to be making an ordinary bitter this weekend and wanted to try FWH for the first time. First off, here's my recipe prior to converting to FWH:
Grains
6.5 lbs Maris Otter
.5lbs Crystal 60L
.25 lbs Crystal 120L
.5 lb Victory
Hops
.75 oz N. Brewer 10%AA 60min
1 oz EK Golding 4.7%AA 20 min
.75 oz EK Golding 4.7%AA 5 min
Yeast
Wyeast 1968 ESB
Mash at 154F 60min
I can't remember exactly but the OG is around 1.039 and IBUs 35. The N. Brewer are used as a relatively neutral bittering hop, although I do like their flavor. I'd really like to get good flavor from the EK Goldings. To convert this to FWH would I just move my 20 min addition? Or should I include my 5 min addition as well? Or should I do something different altogether. I have plenty of EK Goldings, so I can always add more. Also, I don't plan on dry hopping, but when the ferment is done I'll taste the sample and see if it needs it. Thanks for any feedback.
