Also, the FWH addition shows up as more IBU's, but it will not be as bitter. I can't explain it, but it rounds out the bitterness and actually makes it smoother. Don't worry about getting higher IBU's.


Yeah, I always have a tough time with estimating the contribution of FWH. I usually only do it in IPA's since there is more wiggle room for bitterness.

FWIW, OP, I dry hop every APA I make. I would not even think of not dry hopping.

I FWH every beer I make. To calculate IBU contribution, I consider it a 20min addition. I haven't done and all FWH beer yet, but maybe I will....... Hmmmmm......
