So I like to think you made an anti-aging beer. Perhaps a Fountain of Youth Ale? I'd drink it.kristi.w.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08194689985633487991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1016768543865919158.post-57314267722187930072011-08-09T16:32:26.180-05:002011-08-09T16:32:26.180-05:00I like to do it in almost all of my beers. The on...I like to do it in almost all of my beers. The only ones I'd consider not doing it in would be really malty beers where I want the malt to shine through. Biere De Garde, maybe certain Bock styles. It's totally up to you. My experience with it is that the Aroma you get from FWH lasts much longer then dry hopping. My beer The Essence was extremely aromatic 6 months after I bottled it. I'm pretty sure that was because I FWH'd it pretty heavily! Dry hops start to fade weeks after bottling. It's just another thing that will add complexity to your hop profile so you have to decide first, is my bittering hop going to complement my other flavor and Aroma hops. If yes, then FWH. If no, then do a normal 60 minute hop addition. Make sense?Dank brewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08779478546239203006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1016768543865919158.post-26055136396052516152011-08-09T14:40:27.071-05:002011-08-09T14:40:27.071-05:00Thanks for the info!

If so, you'll know that you mash the grains, then drain that wort out of the mash tun leaving the grains behind. As soon as you get any wort into your boil kettle, that is when you put the hops in for the First Wort Hop addition. Whether you fly sparge or batch sparge, simply put in your hops in right away once you have wort. Then when you bring it to a boil, the hops have already been chillin in there for 15-45 minutes depending on your process. You get more bitterness out of it...but it's also a smoother bitterness, but an added benefit is you also get a lot of aroma out of it. Don't ask me how...but you do! It's a pretty awesome technique, especially if you want to add complexity to your hop profile.Dank brewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08779478546239203006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1016768543865919158.post-4371008667523209922011-08-04T10:04:23.631-05:002011-08-04T10:04:23.631-05:00Understood. Best of luck!!
After looking over you...Understood. Best of luck!!<br /><br />After looking over your recipe, I am curious if you would mind saying a little more about your 1st hop addition (i.e. the 1st wort hopping). Specifically, when (pre-boil) did you add your 1st hops? My apologies for the question, but the concept & terminology of 1st wort hopping is new to me.Ethanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06934771583968080918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1016768543865919158.post-62866827222199880572011-08-04T09:45:07.398-05:002011-08-04T09:45:07.398-05:00I just submitted my info to the site, and then was...I just submitted my info to the site, and then was contacted. No idea if there is a wait list, or how many people want to get involved with this type of a challange. You have to be pretty badass...kinda like the honey badger. And also willing to ship 20 bottles of your batch to other people.Dank brewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08779478546239203006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1016768543865919158.post-40801144392542474792011-08-04T06:44:45.258-05:002011-08-04T06:44:45.258-05:00Congrats on being accepted!!
