I've done First Wort Hopping a few times, what's the theory behind adding hops to the mash?alikocho wrote: German Northern Brewer 6.5 % 28 g 16.8 Loose Whole Hops In Mash

Re: Father/Daughter Brew Session - Janet's Brown Ale
It's supposedly like FWH only supposedly results in an even more hop-forward beer. It's the first time I've done it without decoction mashing (my Berliner Weisse had hops added to the decoction and then into the mash, so we'll see.vacant wrote:I've done First Wort Hopping a few times, what's the theory behind adding hops to the mash?alikocho wrote: German Northern Brewer 6.5 % 28 g 16.8 Loose Whole Hops In Mash

Re: Father/Daughter Brew Session - Janet's Brown Ale
Hops in the mash sounds fairly daft. You would need two identical brews, one with and one without and then a blind tasting to decide whether there was any benefit.
I suspect it's one of those things that people argue about but that don't actually exist, like hot side aeration.

I spoke to Tasty. He doesn't mash hop anymore, but has moved it up to a first wort addition.RogerP wrote:Hops in the mash sounds fairly daft. You would need two identical brews, one with and one without and then a blind tasting to decide whether there was any benefit.

I tasted his version of this - not only was it totally awesome, mine came out very similar to his.
