It is amusing to watch ya'll. Especially the battle over hoppy beers and sulfate.

So the FWH that Palmer describes uses 'finishing' hops as opposed to the bittering charge. I think I have settled on that - stick with a smaller Magnum bittering addition, no middle addition and just a very small late addition for some aroma. I have subbed FWH for the 60 minute addition in the past and still loaded up the steep additions... makes a good APA, but appears technically I was doing it wrong.
So for 10.5 gallon
FWH : 9.6 AAU Hallertauer / 56 g 4.8% AA Hallertauer
60 Minutes: 6 AAU German Magnum / 14 g 12% AA Magnum
10 Minutes: 4.8 AAU Halllertauer + 4 AAU Saaz / 28 g 4.8% AA Hallertauer + 28 g 4% AA Saaz
Should still yield about 36-ish IBU, unless I am doing the maths wrong. It's a 90 minute boil - so the FWH skews it a bit. Or - am I doing this wrong ?
