Wanted to use some Munich Malt as my HBS gave me a good deal and chucked in an extra 1kg. Never used First Gold Hops so should be fun and also trying first wort hopping and dry hopping.

That sounds nice....

I personally wouldn't dry hop in the FV though as the action of the fermentation is said to scrub out some/most of the aroma. I'd either rack to secondary and dry hop there if bottling, or if kegging, just dry hop in the keg.
