Looks good that, its a nice full boiler :)

I see you do the first addition of hops as first wort. This is something i want to try instead of adding them at the boil. Have you seen any noticable differences?

Hard to say 100% but the bitterness seems smoother , not sure if you would notice it in an ale or ipa but I 'think' I prefer it. It's definitely not been a negative for me anyway

I usually dial back the bitterness when creating recipes based on my own tastes as i sometimes find it a bit too much. So i will be definetly trying it
