Hi all,
My first brew day for my return to brewing is a Premium Bitter:
https://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/threads/ag-1-bill-clay-bitter-bjcp-style-11b.100771/
…,I thought I would use FWA with this having read about it a bit, but now understand that it doesn’t smooth the bitterness of a bittering hop, but rather releases aroma profile of the aroma hop bill at this stage or added.
From my recipe, should I actually be adding a third or so of the Fuggles I am otherwise dry hopping with? I don’t mind the planned Bramling X adding to aroma too, but really wanted this for the main bittering hop.
What I am really asking is - will the hops compliment each other with FWA like this and should I be adding some Fuggles at the start?
