First Wort Hopping

Post #1 made 13 years ago
How would I First Wort Hop using BIAB?
I use a hop bag filled with pellets, I dont just dump the pellets in the wort and filter them later.

Would I place the Hop bag in the bag (along with the grain) and perform a regular mash, then transfer the hop bag to the brew kettle for the normal boil?

Someone posted about putting the hops bag in the brew pot after the mash, while waiting to boil, but that seems like just a longer boil. I though with FWH you want the hops exposed for a while at sparging temperature (and while mashing temperatures are less, its not a huge amount less)

Same here - pull the bag, flame on and FWH additions in. I also use a hops bag.

If you are going to use the left over grain for dog biscuits than don't mash hop! Some dog will die from ingesting hops?

Lylo, just looking at older/inactive threads.. That's great. I know a couple of dogs that are just that way. I don't know if grains that have had hop juice in them are bad. Certainly hops are. I put my hops in a bag or a large SS tea strainer. But, I'd rather not push the envelop with my lil' girl.
