I am brewing an IPA on Tuesday which I intend to do a 60 min boil with 0 hops in the boil. I am adding warrior in FWH and Citra,galazy and mosaic at whirlpool- Question is, i just read an article that recommended NOT adding high alpha hops (like Warrior) to FWH as some claim it adds an unpleasant bitterness/flavorDoes anyone have any experience with this? Am I setting up to make a pour(get the pun?) choice?My intent is a high flavor,juicy IPA with low IBU, or perceived bitternessThanks

I have and continue to use high alpha hops if they have the character I want.
I think 4-5 oz dry total would be better - you'll pick up some nice aroma from the stand, too. If you do it this way I'll be curious to see what you think.
been brewing for 10+ years but the fwh and whirlpool thing is totally new to me
