The Froth Monster Brew Session

This was the first time that I did first wort hopping. The aromas coming off the wort while I was collecting it were amazing. This beer had major foaming, and I'm not sure if it is due to the first wort hopping, the amount of boil hops, or something else. I basically had to babysit the boil to keep it from boiling over. I dry hopped this beer at 60F (as opposed to pitching temp) as the last few beers I've dry hopped have had grassy characters that I did not enjoy. I also did a cold crash and was able to get the beer down to about 48F using my son of fermentation chiller. As usual, I tasted the beer on bottle day and OMG, this beer is terrific. I think it might be my best. I used a little less priming sugar so as not to down-play the huge hop flavor. This tasted absolutely wonderful right out of the carboy...seriously, I could have finished the whole thing.
