Has anyone tried this?
'First wort hopping, or adding hops to the boiler at the very beginning of the sparging process and allowing them to steep as the sparging completes and remain in the kettle throughout the boil. The hops are added to the boiler as soon as you have finished recirculating the first runnings.'
I have read that it reduces mash pH, and so increases isomerization of later hop additions.
Think I'll try it for my next brew.
