I recently started using the "first wort hops" method where you put the hops in the wort as soon as you start the main sparge (i.e. it steeps in the mash while you sparge and stays there for boiling).
I've been very pleased with the results - it seems like a smoother, but still hoppy beer.
I'm trying it on a wheat beer now to see if it will meld the flavor in at a very low hop rate.
Anyone have a good experience with first wort hopping?
