i'm sure this has been discussed before, however,
when adding your bittering hops, usually at the start of the boil, why bother with the fancy stuff, Fuggles, EKG and the like, what i mean is, you dont really get much character from the bittering addition, right? why not add the high alpha hops, magnum for example, you will get more bang for your buck with this clean high alpha.
What I've been doing is adding my magnums, then the fancy stuff where it counts. Is this rational thinking?
What do you guys do?
