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.


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......

Question about FWH. You take the hops out before you start to boil correct?

Yeah that's how I have done it on some beers per Denny Conn. actual IBU analysis shows that there is actually more bitterness from FWH than a 60 minute addition though.

Do you have beersmith? It does a bunch of the calculations for you.

I highly recommend it. Been using since i started basically. However, it's really not needed for extract brews.
